I Love this devotion. I'd like to believe that since I've been saved, my life has been an open book. Sometimes people look at me with amazement that I've actually said "that" or shared "that." I want to believe that my life before Christ is a powerful testimony to the transforming power of the gospel. The life that I currently live could not and would not be possible without salvation, the blood of Jesus, and His promise to return for me and take me to eternity with my Creator! I'm truly walking in the Light and there are no more secrets! All my sins are #forgiven!
YouVersion Bible App:
There are two myths that we tend to believe about our stories: the first is that they’re about us, and the second is that because they’re about us, they don’t matter. But they’re not only about us, and they matter more than ever right now. When we, any of us who have been transformed by Christ, tell our own stories, we’re telling the story of who God is. I bet God has done something in your life that would make our hair stand on end if you told us about it. I bet the story God has written in your life and your home gives voice and breath and arms and legs to the gospel every bit as much as a church sermon ever did. Preaching is important, certainly. But it can’t be the only way we allow God’s story to be told in our midst. There’s nothing small or inconsequential about our stories. There is, in fact, nothing bigger. And when we tell the truth about our lives — the broken parts, the secret parts, the beautiful parts — then the gospel comes to life, an actual story about redemption, instead of abstraction and theory and things you learn in Sunday school.
“We must not hide them from their children, but must tell a future generation the praises of the Lord, His might, and the wonderful works He has performed.”
Psalms 78:4 HCSB
I wholeheartedly agree :-)
Eternally yours
