A Beautiful Testimony--I Beg You to Watch

What a beautiful Christian woman! I want to be more like her.




For a long time, I have thought, there really is no one out there (besides Christ, of course) I can say I really want to be like that person--that is my hero. I have realized more and more how imperfect everyone is. But this woman, Gianna Jessen, whom I just watched in this one video, is my hero.

Yes, I'm sure she is imperfect. No, she had no control over the beginning of her life. But she DID have control over how she reacted to her origin. She made a choice to speak out about what happened to her. She is using this to further the cause of Christ. She possesses certain Christ-like qualities that I love: she is courageous (how many people do you know who could stand up in a government building and tell their story and talk about Jesus Christ?) and bold and hopeful and she is fighting for justice.

I want to fight for justice with my gifts. I want to use my gifts to be bold and courageous in my faith.
