TOPIC: *The Beautiful Things Of Love (Part *

We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. Psalms 78:4

*Message*

A large chunk of Jesus's immediate disciples were low-lifers who were not enviable as far as the most noble scheme of things in their society was concerned. However, after accepting Jesus's invitation of love, their intimate interactions with the love of Christ brought about eternity-relevant transformations, and they considered themselves grave ingrates should they hold back from witnessing Him. In spite of how they were vehemently persecuted for their faith, even in the face of death, the fire of love kept burning within them, and they won't hold back their testimonies from a world that is destined to interact with the goodness of the LORD.

If you truly love the Lord, you should reciprocate by testifying His goodness to everyone. This is a potent manner to witness Christ. The purpose of your testimony of the Lord's goodness is to woo the world to taste of the Lord too and see that He is good. It was as a result of deep intimacy with the love of God that the Psalmist could declare to everyone who cared to listen: "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" Psalms 34:8

*The world out there needs something genuine and real and true. This should make the job of witnessing Christ much easier for us, as you can achieve a lot by sweetly speaking of the goodness of the LORD to you via the economy of His endless love, emphasizing the fact that He is also ready to shower His goodness on anyone who will embrace His offer in Christ Jesus.*

Don't hide the blessings God has bestowed on you through His love. Tell it to the world and implore everyone to come taste of His goodness too. Open your mouth and begin to testify.

*Confessions*
I won't close my mouth to hide from the world the love of God bestowed on me in Christ Jesus. I will share with the generation to come His goodness and the wonderful works that He has done.

*Further Reading*
However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled. Mark 5:19‭-‬20
