God's Story

It's been far too long since I have had something to write here. I pray that God will put things on my heart more often in the future. But for now, I want to share something with you. When you look at your future, and what you might want to do, how do you plan? Do you do so as if it is your future? Or as if it is someone else's. Because, in truth, it simply isn't your life to plan or your story to write. I understand this is not something you want to hear, but it is the truth. It is God's story. Now hear again, it is not even your book that God is writing. This story, the grand and intricate story, is God's. Completely. He writes each word, each page, each chapter. Perhaps He will write your tiny part in His story as something that, in the eyes of the world, is grand and "world-changing". But no matter how exciting He writes your story, it is not better or longer than anyone else's story. So, my friends, don't write your story, and don't pretend that you are even the editor. You are the reader. This isn't to say that your whole life is planned out minute-by-minute for it; it only means that God is the author, not you. So read with excitement your part in God's fantastic story, and be honored! Carry on!
