God Is Still Writing Our Story

Ever read a book and wish you could skip a few chapters? Maybe the tension is too high, the plot twist too painful, or the ending feels uncertain. But here’s the thing -- if we skip the hard parts, we miss the redemption, the restoration, the beauty that comes when the Author ties it all together.

Here's the good news -- God is still writing our stories.

Philippians 1:6 reminds us that "God, who began a good work in you, will continue it until the day Christ returns." That means He’s not done with us yet. No matter how messy, complicated, or confusing our life feels right now, the pen is still in His hands.

I don’t know what you’re facing as you read this. Maybe life feels like a beautifully wrapped gift, or maybe it’s one of those “return to sender” times. This I know: God is faithful. Always. Even when we don’t understand the plot.

Here are a few things I’m learning in this chapter of life:

God holds us—and all our missing pieces.
(Isaiah 41:10)

Life may feel out of control, but it never is. God’s got us.
(Colossians 1:17)

Even in the mess, God is at work. He’s the Master at turning “messes up” into miracles.
(Psalm 51:17)

When God seems silent, He’s still present. Our pain is not wasted. (Matthew 28:20)

I’ll admit, I’ve tried editing a few chapters of my life -- handing God my red pen with a “let’s cut that part, okay?” But God, in His wisdom, sees the whole story. And He promises that the ending is heavenly orchestrated.

So let's take heart. We are not forgotten. We are not overlooked. Our past does not define us. You and I are children of the King, and our story is being written by the One who never makes mistakes.

Romans 8:38-39 reminds us that "Nothing can separate us from God’s love." Not our failures, not our fears, not even our worst chapters.

So today, whatever part of the story you’re in, hold on to the Author. Because He’s holding on to you. And the best part?

The final chapter is already written -- beautiful, and full of His glory.
