Today, am I Transparent?

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately... I've been very fortunate this past year having the opportunities to go on a couple mission trips and some Christian camps. Through all of these I have been hearing God speaking to me in different ways. A week or so ago my dad just out of the blue mentioned that truth seems to stick to us.

I have noticed that more than anything! In Mexico, our missionary shared his testimony, through tears, to us. I've heard testimonies before, but a piece of his has been in my mind for the past five or so months. He talked of transparency.

I have been thinking about how hard I try to keep things out of the open, kind of just to myself. I have been reminded of a verse mentioning what is whispered in the inner rooms will be shouted from roof tops. I decided with that, I have a choice... I can hide while whatever I've tried to conceal is proclaimed, or I can announce it to the world declaring Gods glory, for still choosing me!

I have decided to to trust God, and in that I need to trust Him with giving him my life and all my testimonies. It is so great though, I have been able to talk to more people in the past week about God then I would have ever imagined!

I leave myself with one question "Today, am I being Transparent?"... but not only transparent, but transparent for Christ!
