The Story of God

The Story seems so familiar.  Humble beginnings.  Born in the secret place.  Born fully human, yet fully God.  Born in such a way that He would know and be known by His creation in such an intimate way.  Son of God, Son of Man.  Born to suffer, born to die.  Born to bring Life, Light and Truth to a dark world.  Born to conquer death and the grave.  Born to ascend to the right hand of the Father.  Born to send the Comforter, the Spirit of the Living God, to indwell the hearts of men.  Born to bring His story to earth and make it ours.

Each of us comes from broken beginnings.  Even as our first parents felt the pain of their sin in the Garden of Eden, so we, too, come to a world shrouded in darkness and pain.  Yet, His Story has always included us.  Before the beginning of the ages, God saw the need for His love sacrifice and made it so.  And, today, God with us and God within us writes the story that sings the song of His beloved.

You, yes, you.  You are His Beloved.  You are the pages upon which He writes.  The Blood of His Son, Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, the ink.  You are the story of His love.  Your life tells of His redemptive work in such a time as this.  No one can tell your story like Jesus.  No one can wear the beautiful life that He has clothed you with but you.  Every moment of your life has, does and will continue to serve a purpose - to glorify your Father in Heaven and bring His wayward children home. 

 “You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven."  (Matthew 5:14-16 Complete Jewish Bible)

Embrace your story, His Story in you.  You never know when your light will shine so brightly that it will impact someone you've never met.  You never know when someone will need your God story to find healing, purpose, and life within themselves.  The God Story in you could be the spark that lights the God story in someone else.
