The God Challenge

I BELIEVE IN GOD!!!! Do you?  How easy is it to say that you believe in God?  It's easy, like saying I like chocolate but when it comes to telling people who he is and what he can do for them, well.....that is something different.  Why do we find it hard to tell complete strangers or even certain friends about him.  We don't speak of him like we are trying to keep him a secret from everyone else when we should be screaming his name and telling everyone about him.  We have no problem showing off our children or talking of their amazing talents but what about God?  God has everything, he IS everything but we still cannot bring ourselves to brag of him.  We talk openly and securely of him in church and Sunday school and know that we will not be judged or ridiculed or even spit upon.  I disappoint him daily and I hurt him daily and I know that is only the devil seeping weakness into my mind and heart.  It is easy to resist certain things like...smoking and drinking but difficult to resist things like Gluttony or Anger.  The challenge I have for myself is to tell friends that I normally would talk of God to and then onto strangers.  I know this will be difficult because it seems there are more non believers than there are BELIEVERS.
