“Here's what surprising about making sense of our lives in the context of the
BIG Picture - ulimately, God's story: The story is not about you - it's about Him.
He is both the author and the main character, and he has written you into
His story to say something about Him. Yet, if we are honest, we tend to
script our lives with ourselves as the protagonists and God in some supporting
(or antagonistic) role...
Rather than trying to write God into our stories, we would be wiser to sit
patiently with our Father and let Him tell us His. We would surely find
ourselves in His story and learn that we are not defined by our hurts and
sins, as we may have believed. As He tells us His story, we must be will to
let go of the stories we've told to make sense of our lives. We must let His
story rewrite ours and sweep us up into something much greater than ourselves.”
― Mike Wilkerson, Redemption: Freed by Jesus from the Idols We Worship and the Wounds We Carry
