“Tell Your Story”
What’s your story? How did you get to this moment in life?
If someone were to ask me this question today, I know what my answer would be (but I’m not going to reveal it)! Of course, the easy answer is “God made it happen”. The complicated answer includes those experiences that were truly life-changing: terrible, near-miss experiences, as well as the direct hits that came in both good and bad ways.
When we consider our life stories, we reflect upon lots of lessons learned. We’ve learned what to say and what not to say. We’ve learned what to do and not do, and we learned how to respond, interact, and relate to people. We learned lots of good (and bad) lessons and would like to share them. But sometimes, our fears of embarrassment, self-worth, and pride can get in the way.
Our stories are important. This moment is important. What has God done in our lives? What is God doing right now? No matter how simple or complicated, our stories are our witnesses to God’s work in our lives. It is important that we learn how to share them, not to boast about ourselves, but to help encourage others in their journeys of Faith.
Is someone in our circle of family and friends hurting? Does someone need an encouraging story? Do we know someone that needs help with a decision?
Our stories of God’s work in our own lives can make a difference for someone. Let’s discover a place to tell our story! Let’s share God’s work in our lives!
“I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand.” (Psalm 71:15, Good News Bible)
