"This is the day the Lord hath made"
Psalm 118:24
Shortly after my first 3 grandchildren were born, I was blessed with watching after them as their parents worked. I loved to read to them, so I kept lots of children's books, in my guest room that I used for them to play, sleep and just enjoy in. I loved it when they would bring me a book to read to them, they would look, point to pictures, listen as I read and waited eagerly to turn the page to see and hear what came next.
I would love to think maybe I had a good influence on their lives at this early age. Do we ever think of our lives, as we live it every day and how others read us like a book, and the influence we have on their lives. Our lives do tell a Story! There are people watching us and reading what we say or do by our attitudes and actions.
So what is the story we are telling, is it one of forgiveness, mercy, Love and compassion!
The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 that we as followers of Jesus Christ, are a story or letters "known and read by all men".
So as God's follower and storyteller, let us with His grace be one of His great storytellers!
O Lord, I love you and want my life to
tell the story of your love, mercy
and forgiveness.
Teach me and use me in ways
to serve you!
Amen
May your day be filled with His Blessings!
