Life is a story. . . keep reading – you’ll find your stride, you’ll like the next chapter. It isn’t always about the bad guys winning – you’ll find a way. The rain will stop, the pain will ease up. . . she’ll smile at you (the one you long for) or he’ll open your heart and you won’t be afraid – you won’t be afraid for the first time ever! You’ll kick the butt of the one who’s needed it for a while . . .you’ll slow down and breathe – it isn’t always about the hustle, you can learn to trust, to rest.
Keep reading and turning those pages – if you read fast enough or just simply long enough into the night you just might catch HIM writing the script – God wants to be found by you – don’t ever give up the chase, cause He won’t let you . . .it’s not you, after all that’s wrote the story.
So catch your breath, lay down in the green grass – close your eyes and believe again in this epic story of your life! Tomorrow there are dragons to slay and fast food to eat and decisions to make but for now, right now – rest a while and let God make your way known – this isn’t a dry piece of toast He’s busily cooking, instead it’s like a feast within a fairy tale.
Tomorrow there will be plenty to make you believe nothing is fancy about your life, nothing is lovely or even clever but for now, right now – rest and believe the same God who each night brings us star light to look on in amazement, to search for Him in . . . writes your story and sees the beauty of you in this exact moment.
And here’s one for the books – finds you – you, that would be you quite interesting and never boring and always worth fighting for! Calling out to His angels to move the text around, to weave mountains for you to climb, and then walks those with you – dragging when necessary and carrying you when you’ve given up and never once, not once believing you when you say you don’t love Him anymore.
In fact His touch is even more tender for He knows the soul you are and the wonder He has created you with – quitting Him isn’t possible – for this story, your story wasn’t begun in you. Instead, within Him, from the foundation of The First Story – The Word made flesh bore you to Himself. You want to understand the deep theology of that statement here it is . . . You became His to have. So quit fighting this chapter in your life and wait for it – the narrative often needs the ending to make sense. Keep turning those pages . . .Life indeed is a story!
