Dear God,

There is no story greater than yours, O Lord.  I long to write my story in yours.  I want my life to tell your story.

Each day when we awaken, when we pray, when we go about our life loving, serving, and helping we write our story in you.  But when we lift up ourselves as though we are the central figure in our story, we miss the greatest story ever told.  Our own story will soon fade but your story will be written day after day and become more beautiful day after day.

When I read my daily devotions, Good News for Modern Man, The Broken Way, and Then Sings My Soul, I read your story.  I read the story of those so close to you.  I see how your story is woven through theirs.  Then their story becomes my story as I receive their inspiration and am challenged to rise up, to become more, and to rewrite my own story in you.

Bless you,
dear God,
for your story
of faith.
Thank you
for all those
whose stories
are written
in you.
Thank you
for the
great story
that changes lives,
gives hope,
and shapes history.

Love, Andrea
