A Plea for the Bold Fool

By Joneen M. Horton
Don't be afraid to share the love of God and the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus.

Do you remember how you were before you were saved? I was saved at 9. I was for real saved at 27. As a young adult, I was bold. I did what I wanted, when I wanted and where I wanted - I had no shame. I figured if people didn’t like what I said or did, then too bad for them. I was bold -a bold fool! So glad I lived long enough to get saved for real!

If you are born again -be bold for Jesus. Paul wrote: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (See Romans 1:16)."

Don’t be afraid to share the love of God and the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus. Seek God and ask for His wisdom on how to share with everyone you meet. Understand that sharing His love and the Gospel may be as simple as smiling at the person you’re sitting next to on the subway.

If you too are a reformed bold fool, then join me in being bold for Jesus!
