Have you ever noticed how readily people will allow even strangers to see their birth marks?  Showing one’s birth mark opens the door for one to tell their story.  A person’s birth mark story usually takes one back to a very joyous childhood. Information that one is frustrated to have to provide when filling out paper work flows freely during story recall. Details like date of birth, place of birth, and etc. freely flow into the conversation.  Who one takes after concerning the birth mark and any other number of characteristics becomes open discussion material when recalling one’s story.  When it gets right down to it, everyone has a story and enjoys being able to share it with an enthusiastic listener.

Every born again believer has a common birth mark. That birth mark is love for other disciples.  Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35, nkjv)  Christians should joyfully share the reason for their love, His name is Jesus Christ.  We were marked by His love the moment we trusted Him as Lord and Savior.  Find a listener today, and share the story behind your Christian birth mark. Your story might just help someone get saved!
