There’s some sort of
connection that I feel when I’m engaged in a story. It makes me come alive.
Stories can be used by
God to connect with us personally. Stories can be like parables from God straight
to you.
The other day I was in
need of being reminded about some important truths; and I felt led to watch
Spider-Man 2. That movie connects with me in many ways and inspires me. I can
honestly watch it and grow closer to God as I do. It feels like a parable He’s
created for me to watch and be reminded of some of His truths.
Going from inspiration
to application might be another post of itself, but don’t underestimate how God
can connect with you in story.
Am I on my own on this
one? Please talk to me those of you that love stories and are motivated by
them.
I can truly say I love
stories and am so motivated in watching, reading, and listening to them.
Writing them too. But I also want to live my story. God has a story written for each of us. Let's walk with Him in it.
Please leave a comment
below mentioning some of the stories that have really connected with you.
Thanks for reading. God bless you.
Story is such a powerful thing! The Chronicles of Narnia was the first series to awaken my love of fantasy and the spiritual truths it's capable of bringing across. But if I were to list ALL the books and movies that have meant something to me, we'd be here a while. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting! Narnia is such a classic! I'm so thankful for all of the great stories out there. And you're so right! Listing ALL the books and movies that've meant something to me would take quite a while too. There are so many. But come to think of it, I might have to make a list like that :)
DeleteNarnia might be a cliche answer, but it's still a huge influence on me. Yeah, a list like that would actually make a great post! Do it!
DeleteI think I actually will make that my next post! Thanks for the encouragement!
