The Shift from My story to His Story

Along the way as I ask women if they might want to share

 a piece of their story for this blog-
 I often hear- "I don't really have a story,"

 or "my story isn't worth telling."

And not to shake a finger at anyone but,

 maybe we need to take a closer look at just what this means.

We have all been on different paths and piece of our journey here on this earth.

But, each and every step along the way we have been invited by Jesus

 to be a part of His-story which is about His Father's Glory.

Before time began, this Triune God had the heart's desire 

to place people here on earth who are His dwelling place on earth.
 ( Eph. 2:21-22)

We see Paul talk about this desire- God's "Eternal Purpose"
 ( Eph. 3:10-11)

God's Eternal purpose- the Church-

 are a called and gifted people created in the image of God.

This living, loving organism
moves as the people that Jesus Himself dwells in-

and is so marked
 that Paul calls them the very "Body of Christ" on earth. 

( Eph. 2:15, 1 Cor. 12:27)

These members, both the saints before us,

 and all gathered here in this time and place-

 For Such A Time as This-

are to envision how our lives exist to magnify God's Glory

 as we live in His-story.

So, maybe this new looking glass, gives you a new perspective.

You were created to bring God Glory.

Perhaps, it is time to unlock the gate and move the barriers aside,

and shine the light on--- God in my Life.

 We can move away from this significant roadblock.

We can smile with the real understanding-  it is NOT ABOUT ME.

It is about how God has used me, fallen, but GRACE-FILLED.

God has been working out His plan in your life- every day.

Now, doesn't that give you something to talk about?
