Your Story

Did you ever stop to wonder just who is writing your story? Are you the only author of that book? Do you have help? The answer may surprise you.

I am reading a wonderful book by Max Lucado called "Come Thirsty". I will admit that I do not know the full meaning of the book but I am learning. One thing that I got from it is about the author of your book. I hope that I am right here in my interpertation but if not I am sure that someone will correct me.

No matter how hard you try you can't re-write what is going into your book. God knows what fills the pages and what is to come - he wrote it. "God views your life with . . . confidence. He's not only read your story . . . he wrote it." (p.120) The struggles that you go through and the hard times that knock you down - He knows. He put them into your book. He put the good in there too. Max goes on to say that "God uses struggles to toughen our spiritual skin." (p120) Gives you a different perspective on that one. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. God knows what you can handle and He knows that things will work out. He knows what is in store for you.

No matter how long, how tough the journey, He wrote it and He knows that you will be able to handle anything He has put in it. So get ready for the long haul. Have faith that it will all work out.
