Should I Tell Them?

I was in church earlier today and some amazing things happened . . . one of them to me. No, it wasn't that anyone's hair was on fire or anyone fell dead for lying or any lame person was made to get up and walk; I know that's what you thought I referring to. What was amazing was that I could literally almost see changes occurring in people based on what was going on in the service. Yeah, I know. For a couple of them it could have just been indigestion or shoes that were too tight. Or, it could have just been the scales being lifted off my own eyes.

One thing I can be sure of is the affect the service had on me. As I gazed around, hoping and praying that the lives of all the people I was looking at wouldn't end up in shambles, victims of senseless violence, this terrible economy or some other unexpected, unplanned and unwanted life event. I know that life can be a wonderful experience that is matchless. I also know that life can be very hard and ruthless at times. I've been blessed to have various jobs with the same employer everyday for the past 29 years. I have never once gone to bed wondering if I would have a job to go to the next morning. I've gotten a pay raise every year. I have three children that make me proud each time I so much as think of them. To tell you the truth, even my ex-wife was a blessing to me. Of course, she was, that's why I married her in the first place. It took her 23 years to wear me down, but she managed to do it. OK, that was a cheap shot. But, anyway, what I'm saying is that my life has been and is blessed. That is absolutely what I believe. I know that people are certainly free to believe what they want and I'm cool with that. But, the favor of God has been on my life, all my life. Even when things weren't going as I wanted them to, I now look back and see how God was working things out.

So, as I reflect about His goodness and favor towards me, I tend to want to tell those who visit my websites or read my blogs why I'm doing so well. I'm not interested in telling them only to proselytize them. I just want them to know why I'm successful and that I'm sincere in all my aims. I know that sharing that information would be offensive to many, for various reasons. I also know that it would be an encouragement to many for various reasons. I'm certainly not ashamed, but I do wonder if it is an irreleveant "tidbit" or a witness that must be shared. I'm stuck in the middle and don't know if I should or should not tell them. Let me know What you think?
