Amazing GuidingCross Testimony: Hoodie Sparks Bold Faith and Hope

Yesterday was a very lovely and relaxing Saturday. We visited Pollok Country Park to see the Highland cows. We had a nice time walking around the park as part of our exercise for the day. Honestly, I had a really good time, and the sun was shining—that was one of the best parts of the day.

While walking in the park, wearing our hoodie sets from Guidingcross, some people smiled at us. We smiled back, because why not? A good smile is a simple way to say hi and just keep moving.

One woman, however, stood out during the last part of our walk. She smiled at us much longer than the others and kept smiling, so I smiled back. Honestly, I thought she was smiling at me because of my beauty—and I don’t mean that in a proud way. People often walk up to me and say, “You’re beautiful,” in such a heartfelt manner. So I smiled back, happy as always and appreciative.

But a few seconds later, while we were reading a poster board in the park, she came back to us and said, “I just want to say I am so happy to see two people wearing a hoodie that promotes Christianity.” She went on to say, “Here in Scotland, people are not bold enough to talk about Christianity, and I’m so happy to see you two wearing something that speaks about it. Thank you so much.” Then she walked away.

It was at that moment my thoughts reset. I began to realize that maybe the others had also been smiling at us because of the words on our hoodie sets—because they carry messages from the Holy Bible.

Honestly, I don’t hear about Christianity much on the streets of Scotland. Mostly, I hear about it when I go to church. Outside my church community, it feels like the topic of Christianity is a silent one.

I then realized that wearing this hoodie might have spoken to someone today.

In all we do as Christians, please do not forget to preach to people in this sinful world. Tell someone about Jesus.

People have looked at me strangely when I’ve given out tracts to invite them to church—but that doesn’t discourage me, and it shouldn’t discourage you either.

All over the internet, clothing brands are promoting nakedness. So many are lost, seeking validation, posting naked photos for attention—because deep down, they’re broken and don’t know where to turn. But when they encounter Jesus, everything changes. They feel fulfilled, because the Word of God fills the emptiness. No more need for worldly validation. God’s love is enough.

In a time like this, when so many are dealing with pain linked to mental health, let us not forget:
“Cast your burdens on Him, for He cares for you.”

God has the answers. He uses man to bless and reach out to man. He blesses us in different ways. So never lose your faith to fit in or blend in. Carry your Bible—it is your watchword.

God is real. Heaven is real.

Don’t let anyone make you look back. You can still enjoy this life while living a Christian life. Jesus is Lord—He paid the debt already. No need to blend in with the world.

People may laugh at you. They may call you boring. But remember: in the end, only true believers shall be raptured.

I’ve been blogging about different things, and if I don’t tell you about Jesus, then I don’t love you enough.

So today, I want to tell you—Jesus is the Saviour of the world. He is coming again. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Don’t put anything above your salvation. Don’t let anyone make you feel “boring” for choosing eternal life.

The Bible is the living Word of God. If you read it, you’ll see—we are truly in the last days.

Please take your spiritual life seriously. If you think you’ve seen pain, read the Bible. You’ll find that there is no greater pain than missing heaven.

It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that, the judgment. How do you want to spend your eternity?

Don’t let “wokeness” take you away from the things of God. Don’t let colleagues at work lead you astray.
It is better to walk alone with God than to be in the wrong crowd.

I pray this post serves as a reminder—a fuel—to always be bold about your faith.

Matthew 10:33 – “But whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father who is in heaven.”

Don’t let your friends lead you down the wrong path. I love you. And when all is said and done, may we be able to see each other in heaven and smile, saying, “Yes, we made it.” But don’t forget—while we’re still here, we must spread the gospel of Christ.
