Reflection Question

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

This entry today will be relatively short. If I was to write an autobiography, my opening sentence would be this. It’s also the same sentence that is under my senior picture in my high school yearbook.

“To God be the glory, great things He has done.”

Little did I know when I was seventeen years old and put that quote for my senior photo, that it would truly and providentially play out throughout my entire life. I can now look back over the last several decades and see how God’s hand guided every moment, every decision, every milestone, and every experience in my life, to bring me to this point in my life.

See? I told you this would be a short entry. Everything in my life points to the Creator who by His grace guided and protected me. My story isn’t about my own accomplishments, for I could accomplish nothing outside the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. My story points to Him.
