LIFE VERSE
1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have
overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who
is in the world. |

I wish I had a story
to tell. I wish I could say that I lived a hard life with
trouble on all sides of me, no end in sight. I wish I could say
my mom and dad split up, hated each other my whole life, nothing
but fighting for as long as I could remember. I wish I could say
that I never got along with my 2 twin sisters, we fought all the
time, couldn’t wait to get out of the house so I wouldn’t have
to ever see them, mom, or dad again. I wish I had a story to
tell.
The story is, I have the best family one
could ever ask for. Mom and Dad have been married, and have been
a perfect example, for over 37 years.
My sisters, I can’t complain at all. They
are the most beautiful and loving sisters that one could ask
for. Why you ask do I wish I had a story to tell?
I wish I had a good reason or excuse for
the things I did wrong in my life. I can’t blame my family,
friends, or God. I hade to face the music of my wrong doings
myself. I have never been to prison as an inmate, but I have
lived the life as a prisoner within myself. I have been down the
road of I wish it would just end and end now.
I know how it is to be (the perfect
family) to all my friends at church, or school, or the
neighborhood. I know how it is to make the wrong decisions, have
to tell your family what you did, and then hear them tell you
they love you, disappointed, but they love you. I know how it
feels to have to breath but not want to. I know how it is to
have to wake up another day, but not want to see the light of
day. Yes, I wish I had a story to tell of how bad I had it.
I have not had a bad life, I have been
blessed. I can tell you that I may not have an excuse for the
things I have done in my life that are wrong, but I do have a
story to tell. I have found peace in my life, the kind of peace
that comes from within. I am talking about Jesus. He has given
me the ability to forgive myself, because he as forgiven me. He
has enabled me to wake up and open the blinds to see the light
of day, take a extra moment for a long deep breath of air, and
enjoy life. Jesus has taken the prisoner within me, and set me
free.
I have a great story to tell. I am not
perfect, I don’t remember things as well as others, I can’t
spell very good, and I am bad with directions. With all that,
Jesus still died for me. He loved me that much, with no second
thought, He took all my sins to the cross for me.
He owed me nothing, yet he still paid my
debt.
I have a story to tell. Jesus didn’t just
pay my debt, He paid yours too.
It doesn’t matter who you are, where you
came from, or who you know. One day you will have to face the
music as I did. What will your story be? |
