Hello again everyone. I want to take a moment and just share something I have been thinking about these last few days. I hope it will encourage you.
Life is like a good book. Everyone has a beginning and an ending but it is what is between the covers that means the most. When a person gets saved, God takes a pen and writes their name in the Lamb’s book of Life. All sins are washed clean by the Blood of Jesus. Getting saved is the first chapter in a great book.
Our lives are like a story. Each year represents a chapter in this great story. We have the power to make our story positive or negative by the people we hang out with or the decisions that we make. Like all good books, there will be tough times and there will be wonderful times. But just remember to compare your life with the greatest book of all time, the Bible.
God has a great plan for your life. Seek after him and he will show you which way you are to go. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Let your life be an uplifting, encouraging book to read for everyone who crosses your path.
Amen to that Jerrica! This is such a powerful message.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago at the 2008 Global Health Missions Conference, I had the honor of meeting Steve Saint, son of Nate Saint (depicted in "The End of the Spear"). To make a long story short, he signed a picture for my mom with the phrase "let God write the story of your life."
Truly, God is the Author/Composer of the masterpieces which become our lives.
Paul writes, "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God." (2 Corinthians 3:2-5 NIV).
This is a good reminder: that if the pen is in God's hands, I don't have to worry--not even for a moment.
