Something struck me today, that I dont think has ever crossed my mind before. When the scripture or the Young Women's theme, or any other of those commonly used/quoted things gets said saying that we need to "Stand as a witness of God at all times, and in all things, and in all places" I've only ever heard "Stand as a witness of God at all times and in all places." My mind, has never grasped or caught hold of the "things"
What does it mean to stand as a witness of God in all things? There are many things I stand as a witness of God in, but what about the things we dont want to talk about ? what about the things we are ashamed of, or embarrassed about? What about those things? can we stand as a witness of God in those things? And when should we?
I think even when its hard, at any time, in any place, with anything that the spirit directs you that you should share a witness of God, then you should share a witness of God. I think thats what it means. When theres something you dont want to talk about, that you feel you should share, then be willing to share it. I dont know. I dont know that this post even makes sense. But What are all things? I've never noticed or payed any attention to that part of the phrase before, but right now, its standing out in my head that All things is just as important as All TIMES and ALL Places. Its an incomplete thought. but there it is.
