I did not want to share my personal experiences with the world. As I struggled with the idea of sharing, I found myself pleading, "Father, I don't want to share my precious experiences. You gave them to me, and I love them. They are dear to my heart and very precious to me. They are special experiences between us. I don't want to cast the precious pearls you have given to be trampled by the world." I wanted to keep my experiences close to my heart where they were safe. The very matter-of-fact thought came to mind: They are not yours, they are mine. With a new perspective now in place and an opened mind, one last thought came to mind: "For to whom much is given, from him much will be required" (Luke 12:48). At that point, I realized I had been given much and I was now being asked to share that.
