As I listened to a friend tell me her story, my heart was stirred. She said that the way we share Jesus is by sharing our story. THAT is what touches hearts. THAT is the way we connect with people.
Am I willing to share my story? Am I willing to let Him use it to touch lives? Even the ugly parts that I wish had never happened? How can I wish for things to be different when He so clearly used it to teach me love, His unending forgiveness, the depths of His heart for me, His ability to redeem. That nothing is wasted! How He keeps pursuing me even when I run the other way. That He desperately longs after my heart!
After all, it's not MY story, it's HIS! And He is good at writing stories! He likes surprise endings.
I wonder, if my story was in the Bible, how would it read? How would yours?
It doesn't matter what your story is: God wants to use it. And He will. If you let Him.
