The very issue I wrestled with yesterday was dealt with in the book I took to my treadmill today.Yesterday's feelings have turned into today's hope. Amazing...
The chapter I turned to focused on evangelism, sharing Christ's story through our own story. The author encouraged Believers to learn Christ's story more fully so we can see Him clearly in ours. The more we know the story of Christ the easier it is for us to recognize the elements of His life in ours.
His story brings our story hope and from that hope spring forth faith and love. These are the elements of our life we need to be willing to share for the express purpose of introducing Him to others.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6, 7
Since I received Jesus as Lord,
my life is firmly rooted in Him.
As I build on the foundation of this truth,
walking with Him, being strengthened in faith,
I overflow with thanksgiving.
Yesterday's desire brings hope and new questions today:
How does Jesus' story fit into mine?
Where is His story evident in my story?
Do you know your story?
Join me in getting a clear picture of the hope of Christ for the glory of God, with the express purpose of sharing that hope with others.
