We all have a story to tell, things that have happened to us in life, both positive and negative. Stories are one of the best ways to communicate; we use them to tell people about aspects of our life or experiences we have had. Stories are universal to us all.
What is your story? What has happened to you in your life, where have you been, what have you done? Have these “stories” defined who you are now?
For many young people out there, this kind of story is familiar: parents divorced, failing at school and the beginnings of a drug problem. Low self worth and not much hope. Frustration, even sadness. The truth is, most of us don’t have a fairy tale to tell when it comes to our story. There is often desperation and regret as we think back on our lives. But is that it? Does that have to be how the story continues, and ends?
No! A new chapter is ready to be written, one filled with freedom, purpose and joy.
Your story isn’t over. It could be just beginning. God has an amazing story planned for your life, no matter who you are or what you have done. He loves you unconditionally and desires to have a relationship with you. God says he will never leave us nor forsake us. And he knows us so well. He even knows how many hairs we have on our head. Nothing is impossible for him!
Don’t allow your current negative situation be your “story”, instead choose to trust God and allow him to start something new in your life. You can be the next Jonathan; you can have your life changed forever!
