"I asked for another story - one that I might find more satisfying. Surely this religion had more than one story in its bag - religion abounds with stories. But Father Martin made me understand that...their religion had one Story, and to it they came back again and again, over and over. It was story enough for them." Yann Martel Life of Pi
When you signed up with Jesus you signed yourself up for a gospel life. If you are looking for the story of your life to play out differently, find another religion.
In the beginning, God gave you dreams, made you promises. Your life is a journey to the realization of them. Yet they are yours all along. You will lose your way. You will be found. You will struggle. You will be sustained. You will suffer. God will meet you in the pain. You will die. God will bring you back to life.
Think about what you are going through right now. How does it fit in the context of the gospel story that is your life?
