Psalm 105:1

 
"Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples."
Psalm 105:1 (NKJ)
 
    In other words: praise the Lord, rely on Him, and talk about Him to other people.
    All are vital and wonderful things . . . though the last one can be really difficult sometimes, can't it? Talking to people about Jesus, telling them that God loves them. Risking being rejected and annoying the person you're trying to help.
    But speaking out is specifically what God has told us to do. And even if someone rejects God's word initially, it doesn't mean s/he won't be open to it later and remember the message they first heard.
    Being shy can make talking to people difficult, especially about such an important topic. But the Lord is with us; it's His Holy Spirit who gives us the words to say; and even if people reject us, He won't. He will give us the strength, faith, and the words we need to say just the right thing.
    Hope you have a wonderful week! :)
