His story is one of perfect love.

His story is one of perfect holiness. 

His story is one of triumph and glory.

His story is one of peace.

"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear," Jesus said, as recorded in Matthew 11:15.  The apostle John records Jesus as saying, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" - (John 10:27).  Are you listening? He's telling a story.  Can you hear his voice? He's telling a story. It's His story.    

Every life that is lived tells a story. My life tells a story. Your life tells a story. My wife's life tells a story. My neighbors lives tell stories. Your neighbors lives tell stories.  Each and every individual that God breathes the breath of life into results in a story being told. Our individual stories as created beings are lesser stories compared to the grand, ultimate story that is being told by the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), the Creator, Jesus Christ. 

In every age, and to every generation, God is telling a story. History records His story. The present records His story. The future records His story.  "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure'" - (Isaiah 46:10).

He declares the end from the beginning! Meditate on that and be blessed.

It is undeniable that God is a master storyteller.  "And he [Jesus] spake many things unto them in parables" - (Matthew 13:3). Merriam Webster's dictionary defines parable as "a simple story told to illustrate a moral truth."  You see that? God even breaks His story down for us simpletons, thus we are without excuse (Romans 1:20) if we reject His story in favor of touting our own stories for our own glory. It's not about us. It's about Him.  Every child of God should rejoice and proclaim, like the psalmist, "For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations" - (Psalm 100:5).

For those who refuse to herald the truth now, be forewarned that your story will not end with "and they lived happily ever after".  Oh, no!  We will all be in perfect agreement with God's story in the end, believers and unbelievers alike (note: But only believers will be saved from His wrath). God's word tells us that every knee is going to bow to Him, and every tongue is going to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Romans 14:11, Phillipians 2:11). 

As creatures made in the image of God (Genesis1:26), we love telling stories too, our own stories, hence humankind's affinity for twitter, facebook, myspace, youtube, blogging, etc., all of which are avenues for us to share our own stories with the world.  But there's a greater story than ours being told. Can't you hear it? Can't you see it? Isn't it grand? It's His story.

His story is one of perfect love.

His story is one of perfect holiness. 

His story is one of triumph and glory.

His story is one of peace.

The day is coming, it's nearer than it's every been before, when all God's children will hear Him shout, "Behold, I make all things new!" - (Revelation 21:5).  And that still won't be the end of the story.
