To Each His Own

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2 Peter 1:16 NIV

Some of us have brown eyes, others have blue. Some of us have blond hair or maybe red, or even some brown with gray hairs blending in. Some of us have white skin and some of our skins are dark.

Each of us are a little different which makes this world an interesting place to live. If each of us is so different then why do we expect our stories to be the same?

Some of our stories are filled with heart ache and pain. Others are filled with sickness. A few of us have violent stories, those are the parts we may want to forget.

Not all our stories are filled with such tragedy, a remnant of us have experience joy and laughter. Some of us have unexplainable blessings. Sometimes we like to share these stories.

Those of us who have experienced pain, sadness or illness and reached out for help would like others to know where we have found that help.

When someone has back pain and you've also had back pain, and you found a way to help your back pain. The common thing to do is to share what you've discovered because you don't want anyone to have to suffer the way you did.

This is why those of us whose stories now include Jesus as a part of our lives wish to share what we discovered with those who need to know the source of our joy.

You see God has now come in to our lives, we have a personal story with Him. He is our help when unforeseen tragedies or illnesses come our way. Even though the pain maybe high, we still have the joy that only He can give.

Maybe you've talked with God before, and for some reason His plan didn't go along with your plan. Maybe the illness never was cured here on earth, the person we loved so dearly died anyway. The thing is God sometimes has an even better plan than we can ever imagine. The person we lost is now no longer suffering, he/she has been cured. The cure though had to come with his/her death.

It is sad for us who get to stay here, but joyous for those who now get to experience everlasting life in God's presence. If us who are left here would continue to talk with God even if you're mad at Him, we would come to know a peace, joy, and blessing that only He can give.

So maybe soon God, Jesus can become a part of your story, and then you will know why it's so important for Him to be a part of your life. Just like He is a part of mine. His story is true and so majestic.
