The Story of My Life

Today’s message was written by my friend, Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope.

Today I want to focus on this passage from Galatians 2:20: “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.”

Helen Keller dedicated one of her books with these words: "To Anne Sullivan, whose love is the story of my life." How many of us could say something like that — naming the person whose love made the greatest difference in our lives?

The truth is, someone's love is the story of every life that finds itself on the path God intended. And how many might say the same of Jesus Christ — that his love is the story of their lives. No day passes that they do not give thanks for the one who loved them and gave himself for them. Christ's love is the story of the best we have ever been or done.

Prayer: Compassionate God, thank you for your unconditional love — for the gift of your Son, Jesus, who has made all the difference. Help us today to make a difference by leaving heart prints of love, gentle kindness, and hope. Touch us. Heal us. Transform our sadness and grief into joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
