Our stories are God’s and not our own. Our stories are a part of God’s grandnarrative. Our stories make the most sense when our lives most reflect God’spurpose in life for us.As we disciple, we help people to see their stories as not merely linked to God’sstory in part (Image 1) but as completely intwined with God’s story (Image 2). Weare all are sinners, sufferers and saints who both receive and carry God’s story.
