Connecting Others to Christ
2 Timothy 1:8-12
8 So don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me his prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 10 This has now been made evident through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher, 12 and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.
1 Peter 3:15
15 but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.

Devotional:
Your story isn't just for you it's for someone else who desperately needs hope. Joseph never lost sight of his calling, even in the darkest moments. Someone in your kingdom circle needs to hear how God brought you through. Your pain has purpose. Your difficulty can become your ministry. But this only happens when you're willing to share, to be vulnerable, to connect others to the hope you've found in Christ. Stop letting shame, guilt, or feelings of inadequacy silence your testimony. You are the perfect candidate for God to use.
Today, ask God: "Use me. Use my story for Your glory and someone else's good."
Reflection Question:
Who in your life needs to hear your story of God's faithfulness? Will you commit to sharing it with them this week?
