Courage in Iran

Read an article this morning about a house church in Iran where each believer commits to give away one New Testament to a non-believer each day of the week. At their weekly worship gathering, each member of the house church receives 7 New Testaments to give away. In a country where such activity brings arrest, imprisonment, and often death, the courage of these faithful followers of Jesus is very humbling to me. Why am I so reticent to share the gospel here in the United States where the only fear is personal rejection? Father, forgive me for my failure to tell everyone I know about Jesus and help me to move beyond my silly inhibitions and share the Good News at every opportunity.
