I love a good story, don't you? I love books, getting completely swept up in the words, descriptions, and characters. I wish I was better at telling stories, I stumble and feel like my stories don't make sense, so I sometimes don't share them. Other times I am afraid because my stories might be embarrassing or people might not hear them the way I think they are supposed to…
Today someone told me a really cool story, one where God intervened and provided, he was faithful.
I needed to hear that story.
People need to hear our stories. They need to hear how God moves, how he provides. They need to hear that after all the struggle and heartache, pain and fear GOD did it, he came through!
Isn't that the benefit of our struggle that someone else would hear it and learn, or be inspired, or their faith strengthened.
Don't let fear, embarrassment, or your storytelling abilities stop you from sharing the story God is writing for you. Give him the glory he deserves!
I promise you someone needs it. Today it was me.
O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things,
things you planned long ago.
