hacer memoria...

I read this today...

"God is retelling each of our stories in Jesus. All of the bad parts and the ugly parts and the parts we want to pretend never happened are redeemed. They seemed pointless and they were painful at the time, but God retells our story and they become the moments when God's grace is most on display. We find ourselves asking, am I really forgiven of that? The fact that we are loved and accepted and forgiven in spite of everything we have done is simply too good to be true. Our choice becomes this: We can trust his retelling of the story, or we can trust our telling of the story. It is a choice we make every day about the reality we are going to live in... The difference is how we choose to live, which story we choose to live in, which version of reality we trust. Ours or God's..." (Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis)

God, help me to trust Your retelling of my story.
