How’s your Art?
So, we’re coming to the end of our Art of Connecting course.
To Recap:
My Story - we each have a story of our own, the overall story of our lives and our testimony of how God has been active and how we have met with Him.
Their Story - all of our friends have their own stories to tell, the experiences that they have had in life, the lessons they have learned and so on.
God’s Story - History is His Story, we know how throughout the ages God has connected with His creation right up today where He connects with us and wants to connect with our friends.
My Story is connected to God’s Story, but also to Their Story. Therefore if I go deeper into God’s Story - getting to know Him better and letting Him transform my life - and deeper into My Friend’s Story - building up our friendship, being there for them - then I will inevitably draw Their Story into God’s Story too.
To me, this leaves the simple question - how’s your art? Because art requires effort. An artist can’t half heartedly hold paint and a canvas and hope to see a masterpiece appear. They have to make a real effort.
How much effort are you putting into deepening your connection to God’s Story?
How much effort are you putting into deepening your connection to Their Story?
When you put your effort into these two things, you will be able to step back and see the finished picture - God knowing them, them knowing God.
Let’s look forward to, and put effort into, these masterpieces
