The God of your Story

When I talk about a God who has dominion over the past, present, and future, and loves us and has the power to heal our whole story, this is what I mean:

Everything that happened in your past doesn’t exist as fact anymore. It only exists as story. As a parable.

Friend, you are the narrator of the story of your life. You’re doing the retelling.

You can tell the story about someone who suffered, or about someone who learned and grew and was healed.

A Foundation

Genesis 3 introduces sin and death, and it’s understood to be tragic. In some ways, terrifying. But if you’ve spent time pouring over Genesis 1 and 2 and see that a foundation has been laid down by God, you can trust the God of the story to fix what has been broken.

So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.

Isaiah 28:16 (NIV)
