We all hear about how our life is like that of a book. Each day we live and the things we go through
write our story and have great potential to grow us or destroy us. We have all have an author for our book. It is up to us to choose the author. We must choose wisely how we listen to the
words in which will be written. If we
are not careful, the author we prefer may become replaced by the thoughts that
consume our mind. If we are not careful
about what is about to be written, those thoughts become actions that flow from
the author’s pen.
Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans and thoughts that
I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and well-being and not for
disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” AMP
He wants to be our full-time author of our story. He is patient and kind but will never force himself
to write our story. We must trust what
will flow from the tip of his pen to the pages of our life. Even when we allow the pen to be handed over
to the thoughts and words of Satan our Papa just waits to be handed back the pen
so that he can continue writing. We must
make the choice to hand it to him through repentance. He then takes the pen and cleans it off with His
Son's bloodshed on the cross.
There will be times as the pages turn that those pages get
marked and smudged with tears or even dirt from the hurt of our life. They may even become tattered and torn. He invites us to sit with him as he writes so
that we can share the pages of our story together. It is a necessary process because he will
only write what we grant the thoughts He gives us to be written. There will be chapters and versions of our
already written book we may release or want to be released. However, there will also be times where we
will be placed on the shelf and as our author needs to edit our story. He may also take us through preparation
training for something greater, he wants to write. There is no shame in being shelved, while revisions
and reviews are being done about what was once written or needs to be
rewritten. He desires to replace some of
the torn and tattered pages and give beautiful new pages to our book. He only desires to write the best story, but
we must fully give him control of the pen of our life and allow him to make
revisions and beauty out of all the pages both past and present.
