Dear God,

The unfolding of your wondrous plan deeply touches my soul. As I read the stories from scripture, I see how a divine pattern formed, leaving behind secrets of the universe.

Today's holy stories are being told. I told mine again yesterday. I am sharing your amazing work in my life. My story is being told because I am telling it. And the most beautiful part is that my story is really a retelling of yours. I only have a story because you have given me many opportunities to look in on forming glory.

Perhaps I am sentimental about the season. Maybe my life is so different now that I am seeing through a lens that is no longer cloudy. On the other hand perchance I am part of your divine plan unfolding and I am simply telling today's story. Someone else will tell theirs tomorrow and all the other tomorrows. I am privileged to carry the story today.

O Lord,
with a
softened heart,
clear eyes,
a strong back,
and feeling lighter
than ever before,
I feel
the sweet peace
of heaven.
With bitterness gone
and hurts removed,
I am living
a resurrected life,
letting grace
lead me.

To you all glory is given, Andrea
