Everyone loves a great story...

I bought this book some time ago called, The Story of a Lifetime. Very promising title don’t you think? Especially if you are a lover of fiction, you would expect The Story of a Lifetime to include great characters, intriguing exotic settings, adventure, and insights into depth of human condition. If you like biographies you might expect The Story of a Lifetime to contain the story of an underdog who overcame obstacles and achieved great things for humanity, or the story of someone who was heroic in the face of danger, or story of someone who changed the course of history.

The book actually contains mostly blank pages. And there are 500 questions to be meditated on and answered. The story in this book is the story of one’s life – an autobiography or a journal. Some of the questions have to do with facts and with history. But many of the questions are meant to draw out thoughts and feelings and fears and hopes. Each of us has a testimony - an account of what we have seen and heard.

Where have you experienced God’s presence in the story that is your life? How may God be using your story and your life as a means of revealing God’s power, grace, love, and compassion?
