Those who know God show great boldness for God.
–J. I. Packer
And yet, I continue to struggle in being as bold for Him as I know I need to be. I know that I am called to be bold for Him, but often my fears get in the way. I want to be accepted and liked, and therefore I keep quiet when I should speak up, I laugh when I should be offended, I just shake my head when I should confront. When will I be bold for Him? Perhaps I do not “know” God as intimately as I thought.
I know that my love for my wife and my family gives me great boldness toward any who would disparage or abuse them. Yet, I don’t seem to have that same passion and boldness for God.
God, grant me more love for You so that I will be more bold for You.
