Don't Be Shy To Cry

Justin Baker • October 23, 2022

 I've heard the phrase said, men don't cry, but I beg you differ because the book of Isaiah says, cry aloud and spare not Of course, I know you are talking about tears but I am talking about a different cry.

In Romans 1:16 Paul declared he was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. We must never be shy to cry!!!!!


There is a preacher I talk to very regularly and he tells me keep sharing your testimony, keep telling your story about how Christ has changed you. For the last 19 years I have been doing that. Have I failed to give the gospel? Yes, but we all have. Have I ever been shy to cry? Absolutely. 


The reason I am sharing this with you is because of a prayer request I have but also an encouragement to do what's right. I was in Planet Fitness doing a five mile walk and working on other things. When I got ready to leave I was talking to the folks that were running the gym and they asked me what I did and what was my reason for being where I am at. I simply told them that I was a preacher and preaching in the area. Long story short I was able to give my testimony to them and they in turn asked me if I was interested in speaking at a prayer and devotional time to pastors that come and work out. Of course I said absolutely. So as of tomorrow morning at 9:45am to 10:30am I will be speaking there and I am excited. What if I had not of spoken up and been shy to cry? This opportunity would have never came up.



.I am not trying to put the glory on me don't take it that way, I want you to see how many doors God can open up when we open up and are not shy to cry!!!!
