the story

I just heard one of the most inspiring stories ever. It was the wonderful story of how a friend came to Christ. I think it just so crazy to think about how the littlest things can be God speaking... From sitting in the colonnades on a beautiful day - to driving down an old familiar road. HE speaks. The most amazing thing is that my friend has a story that if many would have known him a few years ago - they would have given up and said it was useless. But there were a few people in his life who didn't give up. They didn't count God out. They were strong for him.

He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end.

It is awesome to think how big God is and how small we are. But yet, he still develops our stories, He uses us, and he loves us. It never ceases to amaze me when thinking about everyone's story. How people were brought together to develop a relationship that brings glory to God. Or how just being through a certain situation would encourage another person who is going through the same thing.

It is a scary thought, but also comforting - to know that we are not in control. That God - whose word we praise, the LORD, whose word we praise. In God I TRUST. TRUST that He is in control, TRUST that He has a plan and TRUST that He will fulfill it in our life.

So, if you don't know your story - or you haven't thought about it in a while - be reminded what God has done for you and chosen to do through you. I am sure it will remind you of grace, faith, love and leave you with an overwhelming feeling of joy and satisfaction in God -whose unfailing love is better than life (did you take that in fully... God's love NEVER fails)...
