I love a good story

I have probably shared before that I love a good story. I love to hear other people's stories. I love to hear how things came together when it looked as if there was no way for the ends to meet. I am encouraged to learn how GOD has worked in other people's lives and brought them through things and to things that they would have never anticipated. I think one (1) of the greatest things we can do is to tell our stories.

I remember when some of my nieces were younger that, when my Pops would begin to tell a story, they would so often roll their eyes and say, "Oh no, another back on the farm story." What they didn't realize, then, and what we fail to realize now, is that GOD will speak to us through the stories of others. We can see Him working in the stories of others.

Today's word is Psalm 44:1, NLT, which reads, "O GOD, we have heard it with our own ears - our ancestors have told us of all You did in their day, in days long ago."

People have been telling stories of GOD'S goodness and deliverance for as long as history records. Why? Because, people need to know about GOD'S goodness and deliverance because it encourages us to keep pressing on. When people hear how GOD has brought someone else through something that sounds far worse, far less promising than what they are going through, it encourages them to keep trusting that GOD will bring them through as well.

Go out and share your story. Tell others what GOD has done for you, where He has brought you from, and, most important, where He is taking you to. If you see me, please tell me. I love a good story.

Be Blessed,
