Our Scripture reading today is Acts 4:13, "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."
 
There was no way that Peter and John were actors.  This was not how they normally
carried themselves.  Someone made an eternal difference in their lives and it showed!
Our Father desires to give us boldness to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ.  The more
time we invest into our walk with Him, the more He will enable us to make a difference
in the lives of those whom we have influence over.   “No one attribute is more needful to-day for
Christ’s witness than Holy Spirit boldness due to Holy Spirit fullness.” (Pierson) 
 
I was reminded recently of a song that says, "When the world looks at me do they see 
Jesus?"  We need to ask God every day for His help in making this possible.
