Our Story is God's Story

I went to church yesterday morning, and a part of the message that really stuck out to me is that we all have a story but our stories are God's story.  We are blessed with the ability to share our own individual stories, however, and the manner in which we present them matters.  The manner in which we present any and all stories matters.
       Every aspect of presenting matters; how you dress, how you speak, the context of what you're saying.  My image of the world is a blur of colors and shapes, so what matters to me is the speech and context.
       There is an order in which presenting happens and it starts with writing your story.  There should be a beginning, middle, and an end.  Although, sometimes it is easier to retrace your steps from the end to the beginning so as not to wander off from the point.  You mustn't swerve off the road of words that will take you to your destination.  You mustn't bore or confuse your audience.  Every beautiful, powerful word should come together in sensible harmony.
        Our own individual stories all meet as part of God's story and we must tell them beautifully!


   

Hebrews 4:12New Living Translation (NLT)

12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
