Indian baptism

Today in church, I witnessed a humbling and heart stirring testimony. It was that of an Indian gal who finally mustered the courage to embrace the Christian faith despite knowledge of definite objection and persecution from her family and countrymen.

While I was seated in the sanctuary listening to her testimony, something inside of my heart stirred. I respected this woman for her courage and her faith. Perhaps what she has done has always been what I wanted to do but never had enough courage cause of my pride. Some people call it publicity shy, some call it full of pride. I call it plain cowardice. :(

Someday, I wish I will have enough courage to stand in front of the entire church like this gal, sharing my testimony and hoping that all my friends and family will be touched by my message. Till then, I pray that I will continue to grow in my faith and lead a life worthy of Christ! :)
