Learning the rhythms

Doug Floyd reflects on storytelling and discipleship. Doug considers how the stories we tell ourselves shape us, and concludes,

Jesus enters into the story of His people again and again, with light for darkness, laughter for sorrow, life for death.

Sometimes we find ourselves trapped in stories–even good ones. But we are still so very blind and so very deaf. What do we do?

We bring our successes and sorrows to Jesus, the One who was dead but now is Alive forevermore. We come, we cry, we listen, we wait.

Amen. Perhaps the central challenge--and treasure--of Christian discipleship is learning to see our story within Jesus'.
