What story are you telling?

I love stories! I love to read good stories, hear good stories and watch good stories. I am drawn in by the personalities and figures that make up a story. What makes people tick? Why do they do what they do? I am drawn to good stories that capture my attention and draw me in for a long period of time.

It is interesting as we read, hear, or watch stories unfold they teach us lessons about life, faith, and God. We don't need to look at the story just for its aesthetic value but the spiritual value that every story has as well.

I think that is why I love the bible so much is because of the stories that we get from the people. The beautiful thing is that bible has a wonderful aesthetic beauty to it, but the spiritual beauty is so much more beautiful and wonderful.

It is not unfathomable that there have been so many biblical stories that have been turned into movies of the history of film. Some of those movies have been good representation of the biblical story and still others have been a complete and utter farce to the biblical story.

The boat that people miss with God is that we think that He has written all the stories and that is the end. The fact of the matter is that our lives are a story of God's work in our lives. All stories of redemption are good stories to be told. They can encourage, strengthen, bring joy, be thought provoking and guide people towards God.

The question comes, what story about God is your life telling to the world in which you live? How is the story of your life making a difference in people's life? God can use any aspect of the story of your life to point people to His Kingdom.

Let God write your story, don't try and write it for yourself, because only when He writes it does it become a masterpiece!
