Are You Holding Back?

Is there anyone who really knows you, who has experienced the big events of your life with you, who knows your feelings and perspectives? You may have a few people who have shared in some (or even most) of the significant happenings of your life, but no one has really been there with you through them all. Even the people who have been with you haven’t really seen and experienced what you have. They have seen things from their own unique perspective. They may have experienced many things with you, but not inside you. Only God knows you like that!  Every memory that you have can be shared with God. He was there, not just with you but WITH you.  He is the only One with whom you will ever really, really, really be able to share your life.

Your Life Story

Are you busy living your life, or are you aware of your storyline?  Your life is an adventure – a novel to be read, a screenplay to be enacted.  It is peppered with hopes, fears, destinies and barriers.  It is an emotional and gripping tale.

This world is “fallen.”  It is beautiful, and there is so much good within it.  Yet, it is marred deeply by sin.  The world is full of suffering, it touches every person and every corner of creation.  We fall and we suffer ... it is part of every life, everyone’s story.
