All of our stories this side of heaven will undoubtedly be
imperfect mixes of joy and tragedy, beauty and decay, wonder and the mundane. But we are more than the accumulation of our
ups and downs. This world won’t have the last say on the
worth of our stories. We serve and
follow a God who promises to accomplish much in and through every season of our
lives, and who will ultimately weave all things together for our good in a
story so beautiful and perfect that when we get to the end we wouldn’t dare change
a thing. This, even now, sounds like
more than we could ever hope for… but that is the point – our stories are
headed toward a resolution that is indeed beyond
all hope.
“…that
is enough to raise our thoughts to what may happen when the redeemed soul, beyond all hope
and nearly beyond belief, learns at last
that she has pleased Him whom she was created to please…it seems
impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly
sustain. But so it is.” – C. S. Lewis
