你是否曾經覺得你已經搞砸了,無法修復?你知道,那些壓在你心裡的東西......過去的遺憾、失敗和痛苦的影子?

羅馬書8:28說,神使萬事都互相效力,使我們得益處。所有的事情--包括傷害性的決定和不幸的事件,這些都是你故事的一部分。

你有多少次看著自己過去的錯誤而失去希望,認為由於你的罪或你所經歷的創傷,你已經錯過了上帝對你生命的召喚或計畫?

然而,這並不是神對你的評價!主把我們生命中的每一件事都放在一起,並把它們編織在一起,以產生祂的目的的祝福。

那麼,神計畫如何救贖你的故事?這裡有一些要點需要考慮:

1. 這與你無關。主把你的錯誤和那些負面的經歷,把它們編織在一起,揭示出祂是誰,從而在你的未來產生力量。這是可能的,是因為祂是誰,而不是因為我們做了什麼。傳道書3:11提醒我們,"神造萬物,各按其時成為美好......" 這包括你的故事--過去、現在和未來。

2. 你的生命是一幅美麗的織錦。主把敵人扔給你的所有東西,你扔給自己的所有東西,編織成一幅複雜的織錦。想一想這個。耶穌為彼得禱告。他沒有祈求彼得能夠避免跌倒。他祈求彼得在跌倒後信心堅定,鼓勵他的兄弟(路加福音22:32)。你知道為什麼嗎?耶穌知道,為彼得的強壯禱告比為保護彼得的弱點禱告要好得多,因為敵人以後會去找這些弱點。

你過去的罪孽和掙扎是你蒙召的關鍵。問問神,你如何通過你的過去來鼓勵別人,並把祂的恩典傳給別人。

3. 你可以用你的故事相信主。魔鬼會試圖告訴你,你已經超越了神的救贖,你已經墮落得太厲害了。不要讓敵人得到一分鐘的後悔和情緒上的毒害。主一直都在為你的最佳利益著想。祂把優點和缺點交織在一起--永遠不要懷疑這一點。要知道,祂是信實的,要完成祂在你身上開始的善工(腓立比書1:6)。

記住這一點:負面和正面必須結合起來才能產生力量。

贖回你的故事!用信心把你的擔子帶到主面前,並說:"父啊,我感謝你,你救贖了一切,你是如此的出色,你可以把這一切納入你為我的生活和我的家庭所制定的藍圖。奉耶穌的名,阿門。"


REDEEM YOUR STORY
LANCE WALLNAU
2022.4.25

Do you ever feel like you've messed up beyond repair? You know, those things that weigh on your heart...the shadows of past regrets, failures and pain?

Romans 8:28 says that God causes all things to work together for our good. All things—that includes the hurtful decisions and the unfortunate events that are a part of your story.

How often have you looked at your past mistakes and lost hope, believing that, as a result of your sin or the trauma you have experienced, you have missed out on God's call or plan for your life?

Yet, that isn't what God says about you! The Lord takes EVERYTHING in our lives and weaves it together to produce the blessing of His purpose.

So, how does God plan to redeem your story? Here are some points to consider:

1. It isn't about you. The Lord takes your mistakes and those experiences that are negative and weaves them together into the revelation of who He is so that it produces power in your future. This is possible because of WHO HE IS, not because of what WE have done. Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that "He has made everything beautiful in its time..." This includes your story—past, present and future.

2. Your life is a beautiful tapestry. The Lord takes all that the enemy throws against you, all that you've thrown against yourself, and weaves it together into an intricate tapestry. Think about this: Jesus prayed for Peter. He didn't pray that Peter would avoid stumbling. He prayed that after stumbling Peter's faith would be strong and he would encourage his brothers (Luke 22:32). You know why? Jesus knew that it was far better to pray for the strengthening of Peter than to pray for the protection of Peter from his weaknesses, because the enemy would go after those weaknesses later.

Your past sins and struggles are keys to your calling. Ask God how you can encourage and minister His grace to others through your past.

3. You can trust the Lord with your story. The devil will try to tell you that you are beyond God's redemption, that you've fallen too far. Don't give the enemy the benefit of a single minute of regret and emotional toxicity. The Lord is looking out for your best interest, all the time. He weaves together the pluses and the minuses—never doubt that. Know that He is faithful to complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6).

Remember this: a negative and a positive must combine to produce power.

Redeem your story! Bring your burdens before the Lord in faith and say, "Father, I thank You that You redeem all things, and that You are so brilliant, You can work this into Your blueprint for my life and for my family. In Jesus' name, amen."
