Your story was never meant to be a fairytale.
Your story wasn’t meant for the delicate stroke of a pen 🖊️ in a leather bound book. 📕
Your story was meant to be epic.
Your story was made to be seen. Your life was made to be viewed.
Because you will walk 🚶🏻 along through life, and it might just be good, it might just be ok and comfortable. But the truth is that your life was never destined to be comfortable, it was destined to be epic.
Epic, like a roller coaster 🎢 epic like the unbearable twist in a movie 🍿 plot.
And sometimes epic hurts. Sometimes epic is surrounded by fear, sometimes epic brings pain.
Because when you stand up straight, showing the beauty of your life, the truth is, you are nothing special. The truth is you have caught no one’s eye. You are secluded and unwatched.
But when you stand, pulling up the leg that was broken, leaning on the crutch in your hand. When you try to stand straight with that curved spine. Every eye will be on you.
Your hardships pull their hearts, your unearned pain will bring their ears. The dissection of your live will turn every eye to your very next move.
And when they look on at your struggle, when they see your pain. They will watch to see your next move. And they will see the very one who carries you. They will see what you are truly made off.
The very breath of God.
Genesis 2:7Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Maybe, just maybe you’ve been in a comfortable state of preparation prior to this point in your life. Maybe you are now going through one of the major stories in your book. Maybe you’ve been doing life and now life has hit its blow.
Maybe God just wants to show everyone around you that when the wind blows and you are pushed back, HE is the very rock 🪨 on which you will lean on, HE is the firm foundation that will not let you fall.
Maybe your hardship, will be your highlight to all who see and hear.
Lord let our lives always bring you glory and point to you above. 👆 Let our lives be an epic sign of an epic God, who saves, delivers and sets us free.
