Article Twenty six
Authored by God
As I heard this phrase, the deep truth of this unfolded before me. His narrative speaks of our identity and purpose.
Even the theft, destruction and death devised by the enemy falls into line to bring us back to our first position as His beloved child. For Father God weaves all things in accordance with His will for our lives. We are created by Him to delight His heart and to co-reign with Him in all things.
Whenever we stumble or falter, and wherever we wander, we find His narrative, and His song, woos us back to His heart. We are never too far away, but are exactly where He knew we would be. He gently leads us back!
He has authored our lives to reflect His Son towards the person in front of us. All those we encounter. We are His definition. Even when reminded of our limitations or inabilities. When taunted by our mistakes, the Lord hushes our sighing. For He sees only opportunities for His love to shine forth and for our redemption and restoration to glorify Him.
We find His definition and our pathway in His Word and as we entangle with Holy Spirit. We perceive it as we engage our hearts with His heart. If we are in any doubt, we simply call upon Him to show us what He sees. We listen resting in the narrative of our author!
I have found this to be true not only for my life but for the lives of all those I encounter. For my family and loved ones, and everyone God brings across my path. My part is to come into agreement with this truth for both myself and for all, wherever they are in their journey.
