Have you ever felt that gentle nudge in your heart to mention Jesus, but something inside held you back? Maybe it was fear of what others might think, fear of being misunderstood, or fear of rejection. If so, you’re not alone — many of us have felt that same hesitation.

In today’s world, people can freely talk about almost anything — success, struggles, dreams — but when it comes to talking about Jesus, many grow quiet. Sometimes it’s not because they don’t believe, but because they’re afraid of standing out or being labeled. Yet, Jesus never hid His love for us. He spoke truth even when it was uncomfortable, and He showed love even when it wasn’t returned.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear is not from God. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our hearts, He gives us courage — not to argue or to prove a point, but to love boldly and speak gently. Talking about Jesus doesn’t mean shouting our beliefs; it means sharing from the heart how His love has changed our lives.

Think about this — every time you share a piece of your story, a moment of how God met you in your weakness or restored your peace, you plant a seed of hope in someone else’s life. You don’t have to be perfect, eloquent, or have all the answers. You just have to be willing.

There is someone out there waiting to hear that faith is still alive. That grace is still possible. That Jesus still transforms lives. And maybe — just maybe — your voice is the one God wants to use to remind them of that truth.

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” — Romans 1:16

The world needs light right now — not just sermons or big words, but genuine hearts that shine with Christ’s love. Be that light. Speak His name with kindness. Let your life reflect His goodness, and your words carry His peace.

Because when you speak about Jesus, you’re not just telling a story — you’re sharing hope. And that kind of courage has the power to change the world.

Reflection Thought:
Ask yourself today — What would my life look like if I spoke about Jesus with love instead of fear?

Prayer:
Lord, give me courage to speak Your name with love and grace. Let my words and actions reflect Your heart. Help me remember that every time I share Your truth, I bring light into someone’s darkness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
