Your story

Your life is unique and as such the telling of it can be used to glorify Christ Jesus and what He means to you. Don’t take this the wrong way but if you know Christ no matter what you’ve been through your story has purpose. God places you in contact with others who need to hear how you made it through. You say but you don’t understand I was abused as a child or I was neglected and left alone or maybe drugs and alcohol controlled you. You may say that sickness or poverty controlled my life – how can that glorify God? Allow me to clarify something that doesn’t keep you from having a great testimony rather it shows how great Jesus Christ is! I grew up in an ordinary, every day dysfunctional family who went to church. I knew what it meant to be saved at an early age and at the age of nine gave my heart to Jesus, still there were many inward battles and as Father God led me through each one I built an altar of remembrance like Abraham did as God led Israel out of Egypt. God wants you to remember your journey so that at the right time you may share it with others who are currently going through the same things you have been through. You see contrary to popular belief this life is not all there is. If it was I would be upset that I wasn’t born rich or well educated or had the same opportunities others have. Instead this life is preparation for what God has prepared for us. It takes a lifetime for us to understand God’s love and mercy and when we understand that then we are ready to meet Him but somewhere between this understanding and seeing the Author of our Salvation there are people to help. We have a duty to point the way so that they may also taste salvation and know God’s goodness! This brings to light the meaning of this verse: (Romans 8:28 MKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
