In Matthew chapter 5 we find an amazing story of a man that was demon possessed. He finds healing in Jesus and greatly desired to tag along with Jesus after he was healed. I am sure it hurt Jesus to tell the man he couldn't travel along with him, but Jesus knew there was something more important the man needed to do. He wanted the man to go home and tell his story.
Matthew 5:18-20 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said,“No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.
Have you went home and told your story?
"If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive." —Barry Lopez
