Shout it! Scream it!

Shout it
Go on and scream it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That He is God
("All The Poor And Powerless" by All Sons and Daughters)

What if we actually did shout it and scream it from the mountains? 
What is "it"?
What if "it" is your story? 
What if your story is the conduit of grace that God uses in someone's life?
What if your story tells someone that He is God?

I have held it in. I have run. I have hidden the dark pits. I have sugar coated the bitter. I have put on a face. I didn't want them to see the hurt.

But, what if they need to see the hurt? Did God let me hurt for their profit, for your profit?

"But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation." ~ Galatians 6:14-15

I don't want to boast in anything other than God's grace. But, He has shown me His grace - is showing me His grace daily. And, I cannot be silent and allow this glimpse of His glory to become a crusty scar that is of no use to anyone. 

So, join me on a journey. As I struggle to show you how He has displayed His grace. Laugh with me. Cry with me. Come to the cross with me.
