A dreamer comes in many shapes and sizes. They can be a man, a woman, a boy or a girl. Their dream was conceived and is waiting to be birthed, but many things can put a hold or stop to their dream.

Why Should You Share Your Testimony?

• Give God the glory!  When we testify of the things God has done in our lives, it is a form of praise and worship.  We are saying to the whole world, "It is not I who is great - It is Christ who is great in me!"  It turns everyones attention to the Lord and shows them His greatness.


• Refuse to forget!  When God brings us through a trial, as time passes, we can forget how much He has done.  Many Christians who have served the Lord for years do not remember the shape they were in when He first rescued them.  Telling your testimony humbles you as you recount God's grace and mercy in your life.  It reminds you where your life would be if not for God's matchless mercy and grace.


• Inspire others!  Your Christian testimony may be just what someone needs to weather their toughest storm.  We have all been through trials.  And many of the battles God has already brought you through are being fought by other Christians even as you read these words.  When they read your story of victory through Christ, they know that He can do the same miracles in their lives.


• Build your faith!  If you are going through a trial, one of the best ways to build your faith is to think of something God has already brought you through.  It reminds you of His faithfulness in the past and gives you the strength to have faith for your future.

Words: Chris­ti­na Ros­set­ti, 1872; she wrote these words in re­sponse to a re­quest from the mag­a­zine Scrib­ner’s Month­ly for a Christ­mas po­em.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;

Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.

What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
