Friend, Luke 2:17 says this: “And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.”

I love that verse because it reminds me of something simple and powerful. The shepherds didn’t go to seminary. They didn’t write a book. They didn’t wait until they had all the answers. They just told what they had seen and heard.

I picture them leaving that manger with straw on their sandals and wonder in their eyes. Their hearts were still racing. Their minds were still trying to catch up. But one thing was clear: they couldn’t keep it to themselves.

That’s how the gospel spreads. Not through perfect words, but through changed hearts.

You may feel like you don’t have much to offer. Maybe you think your story isn’t impressive enough, or your faith isn’t strong enough yet. But friend, if Jesus has met you—even in a quiet, ordinary moment—that’s a story worth telling.

The shepherds didn’t explain everything about the Messiah. They simply said, “Let me tell you what God did for me.” And God used that.

So today, don’t underestimate the power of your testimony. Share what you’ve seen. Speak what you know. Tell someone how the Lord showed up in your life.

Because when God does something real in your heart, it’s not meant to stay on the porch—it’s meant to be shared.

And who knows? Your simple telling may be the very thing God uses to light the way for someone else.
