But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him; but He sent him away, saying, "Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you." So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. Luke 8:38-39

This man wanted to stay with Jesus, sit at his feet, be in His presence. Yet Jesus would not allow him to stay. Instead, Jesus told him to go tell what great things God has done for him.

The past few weeks I have been deeply burdened over this very idea. I have sat and soaked for 30+ years. I've been under some great Bible teachers, completed countless Bible studies, and been through many disciple-life courses. Perhaps it is time to step out of my comfortable and secure setting and start sharing what great things Jesus has done in my life. To start giving back instead of always taking. To disciple instead of being discipled. To teach instead of being taught.
