You Are Part of the Bigger Story

Have you ever read Jesus’ genealogy? It’s in the Word of God, Matthew chapter 1.

The author traces Jesus’ ancestors all the way back to Abraham. And there’s something very unusual about this list—there are several women included! And many of them of unsavory and humble background.

The author departed from the usual way of tracing lineage (through men, at the time) and included these women for a purpose. It demonstrates to us that, no matter who you are, and no matter what your circumstances, God will use your life to enact His plan for the world.

Your life matters to God. Every bit of it. And when you give your life to Him, it becomes woven to this bigger story of His redemption.

Will you surrender to His plan and His purposes, and let Him—the author of all life—be the One to write your story?

Remember, there is always hope with God.
