Often times I have wondered "Why my story?" I do not want the story I have. I have cried out to God before and have even been bitter that I was given the testimony that I had. One of over-exposure, trauma, and consequence. But the fear of God struck me, followed by his mercy, his grace, and then his healing. Your story, my story, they are bring God glory. There is no weak testimony, there is not strong testimony, for everyone all in the same there is God's testimony, of what he has done for us all. For some their great testimony is that God has saved them from experiencing the traumas of life and are able to be used to glorify him, and for others they are so far down in a pit they can't even see the sunlight anymore...and God rescues them, for his glory. None of this about ourselves. Never has been never will be. So in it all, if my story is what has brought me to the Lord and brings him glory I will embrace it and know that even though I remember the wounds they are healed. The wounds are just a reminder to cling ever closer to my Lord, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Deliverer, my King, my Father.
