Story.
We all have one. I love to hear one. There is something about a story that touches deep within my soul. Perhaps that is why I so love to read this Book. There is a story of every sort in there — murder, warfare, family dysfunction, parental advice, parental favoritism, adultery, bankruptcy, mystery, deception. It is all in that one Book.
I am grateful that their story has been told for all of us to read & know for all times. Their stories remind me that there truly is a larger story being told.
And this morning, I realized that the larger story is yet being told. The story is not yet completed.
Your story matters. And so does mine. We need to tell our stories for they point to the love that is still being offered. Our stories demonstrate the grace & forgiveness & mercy of our God that is still ongoing. Our stories give hope in this otherwise hopeless world. It is in our story that we find strength to go on knowing that He is a God that never changes. Each story reminds us that we are frail. We are broken.
Each story speaks this truth to us ——ĆĀ It is through our cracks that the Light shines.
My story matters. And so does yours. As it reminds me of how important we each are to our God.
Each story tells me that I am loved – greatly & deeply.
And so are you.
Today I linked with Five Minute Friday and Fellowship Fridays and Friendship Friday and Faithful Friday and Bible Love Notes and Friday Flash Blog and Faith Filled Friday .
I love this! It’s so true that each one of our stories are making up a bigger story that has yet to have it’s happily ever after! š So blessed to have been linked up next to you at Christian Mommy Blogger!
(Someday I am going to do FMF! š )
I am so glad that you stopped by & you should definitely do FMF š
Such good thoughts! It is so important to tell our story and point others to the love being offered by our Father! Visiting from FMF! š
May our story always point to Him. Have a great Friday!
Hi there! Nice be at daysnthoughts! I smiled with recognition when you referred to the Bible as the ‘story’. It sure is full on interesting characters, you are right about that. And your story matters too, because God is doing his wonders in you every day.
Great post!

How moving and wise! We are all characters in each others stories and it’s important to remember that! Cheers! Leslie of The Sweet Midlife with Lynne and Leslie!
Love this sentence: “It is through our cracks that the Light shines.” So true! Thanks for sharing this & for visiting me at Doorkeeper. Blessings!
Your comment just reminded me…
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine!” š
Visiting from the blog hop! Great post! I agree we all have a story, and that story is for a reason because it can encourage and inspire someone that crosses our path. But we have to share it in order for it to be a blessing. Thanks so much for your honesty and transparency.
Kimberly, may we keep on sharing – always! Thank you for stopping & sharing. Have a blessed Sunday!
