Only a sailor can truly tell a nice tale of the sea, right? That is because he has the experience of being tossed about by waves, and perhaps has broken masts a time or two.
Our story in life is no different; we are able to tell what life is, from our perspective because we went through it and understand better.
That, is the catch. We go through experiences so that we are able to tell a story. This then, only happens when we allow ourselves to walk through or be walked through whatever life brings. It works best when Jesus is the beginner and finisher of our lives. He says in His Word that we have to count it all joy when we go through tough stretches, because our faith is being made complete.
Are you facing a tough patch? Why not get down on your knees today and ask God to help you make a story of it? Ask Him to help you join the company of sailors who told their tale. For, because of this, other ships are making it safely to harbour in far away shores.
Be blessed.
