Not until, my friend told me how much the book meant to her mom, was I relieved.
In
the last few chapters of that book, I wrote about living everyday as if it was our last. I
spoke about being heaven ready at all times!
The news of her death sent home a different message.
Your words could
be the very last thing someone hears, or reads.
♠ I got more cautious and intentional about my writing and everything I put out there!
♠It
made me understand the value of tending the portion of the garden the Lord has Given me...yes
this little online home and everything else offline.
♠It requires that I hold myself accountable to write as He leads and instructs even for those
who drop by daily and savour these words or for those who breeze past.
♠It gives me a vivid picture of what God meant here in 1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether therefore ye
eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
If God is not glorifiied, then the whole purpose is lost.
At that moment when you think your story doesn't matter, God says, everything you are passing through for the sake of the gospel truly matters.
Your
story matters friend!
The way you say it.
What you think about your life journey,
Everything in between really matters.
Your story counts.
There is someone who is watching you, listening to you and steadfastly following in your footsteps.
Let them see the Light in your life
Let them see Hope in your story
Let them see Jesus through and through
Everything
about your life story matters from the very mundane, gory, heart ripping to the
bliss, laughter and fond memories. Like the rainbow, laid side, the beautiful
colours create a glorious impression...they become blended into a heart-warming
story-

Samuel #OvercomeFailure
In the first chapter of "Overcome
failure" I write about the value of story telling. Whether it is yours or
mine, it matters.
God showed me daily how weighty the words He gives us are.
Gal, God's
words impressed upon our hearts can save a soul, transform another and bring
hope yet to another.
We dare not
underestimate the value of the story He makes out of our lives.
