What’s Your Story?

I attended an event where one of the men at our table told how he knew he had been touched by God two years’ ago, and though he is still waiting for a liver transplant, he’s telling his story to young people of how he abused his body with alcohol and medications. No doubt, his story of a tough road back then and now, will cause those young people to seriously consider the roads they’re on.

We were so blessed by his story, but then as we talked and looked around our table, we realized that each, and every one of us, has a STORY of our own of how God’s grace kept us, delivered us, spared us, healed us and restored us.

We realized that’s why we have a STORY — why God allows us to go through “stuff” so that we can share His love and faithfulness to others. We really are on the same road…..coming from all directions, but each of us are here to grab the hand of someone and help them through because “we’ve been there, too”.

God’s plans are always to use us to build each other’s faith and trust in Him. I know I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say “Because of you, I didn’t give up.” Are you sharing YOUR story with others? Maybe yours is the one that will comfort, bless and encourage someone today!
