God has given you a story to tell. It’s your own story, the story of God moving in your life. But since God moves in our lives everyday, we have multiple stories to tell! You never know when your story will be the catalyst for someone’s physical or emotional healing. You never know when your story will be the thing that helps someone live in greater peace. You never know when your story will cause someone to give their life over to Jesus!
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins 2 in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler who exercises authority over the lower heavens, the spirit now working in the disobedient. 3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us, 5 made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace! 6 Together with Christ Jesus He also raised us up and seated us in the heavens, 7 so that in the coming ages He might display the immeasurable riches of His grace through His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— 9 not from works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:1-10 HCSB
And my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness, Your praise all day long.
Psalms 35:28 HCSB
8 So don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me His prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.
2 Timothy 1:8-9 HCSB
They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives in the face of death.
