The Story

Ok, so you’re only getting through because you have to, you have to get through. And you’re only here because you have to, you have to be here. Here, getting through this thing called life.

Because you have to.

But what if there’s a different story here? For your life, for you? What if it’s different than just havin’ to?

That’s why Jesus came.

To change your life from just havin’ to to one of value and purpose and meaning. Because He loves you.

It’s the story of how Christ Jesus came to save you. How He came just for you. How He now walks and talks with you. How He loves and cares for you, protects and provides for you. How He is everything to you. Now. Because He saved you and how He is really there for you, to calm and to quiet your soul within the storm. How He is really present and actively fighting for you within the battles, to see you live life victoriously.

It’s the story of faithfulness and endurance. It’s the story of justice and righteousness. It’s the story of love and romance, and faith and perseverence. All for you.

Because you’re not here just to get through life, just because you have to. No. You’re not here just because you have to be. No! You are here because He loves you.

And His story for you proves it. He came to earth that first Christmas on purpose for you. To save you, He came down. Because He loves you! So you’re not just havin’ to live this life, but you’re actually given this life to live.

Because instead of havin’ to get through, you’d love to. And You’d love to tell the story, because it’s His story for you!
