What’s Your Story?
Today we talk about stories, which makes sense because our lives, and our stories, are meant to be shared.
So it is no surprise that in Luke 18, Jesus uses stories to convey some important messages. The first, that we should keep praying and never give up. The second, that humility trumps arrogance every time.
And then we have those sweet sweet kiddos that can’t stay away from Jesus.
Each story, each group of people, shares something in common: they are loved by God.
You are too. So what is your story? And how can your life be a monument to the kindness and mercy and love of God hundreds of stories high?

“Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” C.S. Lewis
“The kingdom of God is wherever the things God wants to get done get done.” Brant Hansen Life is Hard. God is Good. Let’s Dance.
“This kingdom is really, really good, and here’s my theory: we all want it, deep down, even people who won’t admit it and don’t even believe in it. And here’s another of my weird theories—one indicated by goose bumps: we all get brief flashes of it in life, fleeting impressions that leave us moved or yearning for more. We may not even be able to explain why. There’s a German word for this, because they have a word for everything: It’s fernweh, which literally means “farsickness.” 1 It’s feeling homesick for a place you’ve never been.”
