The Story

So the shepherds hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. - Luke 2:16-18

The shepherds told the story of what they had seen and what they had heard. They didn’t make things up - they didn’t have to. They had an authentic experience of connecting with God and freely shared about it.

What motivates you to tell your God stories to others? What makes you hesitate? Is there a story you might share this week with someone? Or is there someone you might ask to hear more of their God-showing-up story?
