Your story doesn’t have to be a wild, sex-filled, drug, gang incredible story. Some people have those stories, but most don’t. Most people come to know God through a process of asking questions, getting answers, watching other Christians, and accepting God’s free gift of forgiveness and love. Nothing extravagant . . . but genuine and real. Maybe you don’t have a story that will make someone cry or stand to their feet to applaud, but if you know God, your story will encourage someone else’s faith journey.
Maybe you grew up in a Christian home and can't remember a time when you didn't believe. Ask your family and have them help you identify the period in time when you realized you wanted something more than church and/or religion, a time when you wanted a real relationship with God.
Maybe even more important than a “when” is a “what”…what is God doing in your life today? Our faith isn't a one-time event. It's an ongoing relationship with the God. So, what are you learning? What are you going through? What's the condition of your heart? What has God taught you through some recent challenges? Keep in mind that great stories aren't always success stories. It's an ongoing process even as you are reading this now!!
