Why Should I Write My Testimony?

How many times have you been inspired by something you read or heard? There are many people dealing with emotional and physical issues who need inspiration of their own. Your testimony helps them understand that faith in Jesus Christ can transform a life.

“It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me. How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation.” — Daniel 4:2–3

Every time we tell our story, we give honor and glory to God. No matter how “spectacular” or “ordinary” you think your story is, it is ultimately about God’s character and His rescue in your life.

Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. — Psalm 66:16
