Our life is a story! It may be a really long or could be rather short, it could be simple or complicated only time will tell. There are many scenes, large and small, and many "firsts". Your first step; your first tooth; your first day of school; your first love; your first kiss; your first game; your first heartbreak. If you stop and think of it, your heart has lived through quite a story thus far. Your heart has learned many things. Some of what you learned is completely true, but remember much is not. I hope you have the chance to find out the truth through looking at the book of life!
....The transformation! Just like any great story that we have come to know has the bad transformed into good, the ugly transformed into beautiful, the hopeless and dreamless walking away has hero's! It's the beauty of His (JESUS) History that became our stories! Why are we all so interested in having good stories, the cool stories of transformation? Because it is the secret to Christianity, and read closely, Christianity is the secret to the universe! You must be transformed!
Remember, the purpose of this thing called the Christian life is that our hearts might be restored and set free. That's the deal. That's what Jesus came to do, by his own annoucement. Jesus wants Life for us, Life with a capital L, and that Life comes to us through our hearts. But restoring and releasing the heart is no easy project. God doesn't just throw a switch and poof - it's done. He sends his Counselor to walk with us instead. That tells us it's going to be a process.
