I love stories. I love telling stories and hearing other people's stories. For stories are the stuff of life. They are the way we express what is important to us and how we get to know other people. In a devotional I was reading this morning, it was even commented on that stories are how we build trust between people.
We hold other people's stories gently. We share our stories with open hands. Yet, it seems to me that as Christians we seem to struggle with connecting our story to God's greater story from time to time. We may be able to tell a Bible story, or at least our interpretation of it, but we can't really articulate how it intersects with our life, how God has changed our story, and how we are transformed because of stories.
How have stories touched and changed you? Is it easy or hard for you to share stories of faith with others? Why or why not?
