Testimony
I come up to give the Lord honour and glory. We have bodies that he heals and rejuvenates. About four months ago I started walking, and I got healthier. Two months ago I thought: I think I could go back to the gym - and I never thought I'd be physically fit again. I started on the treadmill doing two minutes, then three, then five. Last Friday morning I ran for fourteen minutes - there was sweat on my back I hadn't seen for a long, long time. The Lord restores the bodies he gave us, and we must put the effort in - spiritual effort, but physical effort too. One of the main reasons I do it is that I want to be healthy for as long as I can, so I can serve the Lord for as long as I can.
That same afternoon, after a swim, I got talking with a couple of ladies and had a wonderful conversation - one said she wants to come to this church.
Then on the outreach we had a wonderful time. Muslim ladies and men were receiving tracts; we spoke to a Muslim family and they received the gospel message and we gave them a Bible. With the money you gave for Bibles, we're able to put them in the hands of people who actually want to receive them - truly amazing. And a young man gave his life to the Lord. Hallelujah!
I want to give the glory to God. He is a restorer - he restores the souls of people out there, he has restored our souls, and he gives us good health if we come to him.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

What did the Lord say to you while reading this — and what will you do about it before the week is out?
