The Story of Our Life 

   “Your eyes saw all my days, each one was written in your book, complete before one of the came into being.” (Psalm 139: 16) 

   The story of our life was written before time began.  The number of our days, the day of our birth and death.  All that transpires in our life was written in the book; and the book was written by God.

   Whether we want to admit it or not we were born for a purpose determined by God before time began.  Each detail of our life was written down in His book, nothing was left to chance.  We were created to do God’s will and to join Him in the glory of His heavenly kingdom.  This is true for each of us, even though some refuse to acknowledge that God even exists.

   You might ask, if God wrote the story our lives, how is it that not all of us follow the story as it was written?  How can some follow the script and do God’s will while others ignore Him completely, choosing their own path?

   God wrote the story of our lives, but He also gave us unrestricted editorial rights when He gave us free will.  We are free to choose whether we will stick to the story as He wrote it or disregard His plan and strike out on our own, re-writing our story as we go.

   Some choose to ignore God’s plan and write their own life story.  God will allow us to change our story even though He knows what is best for us.  We have the option but the stakes are high.  When we choose our way, spurning the love and mercy God has for us, we have chosen hell over the joys of heaven.

   God has prepared a kingdom full of love, joy, and happiness for each of us, but He will not force us to accept it.  We can edit the story of our life, but we must accept the results.  Though heaven awaits each of us, we can choose hell; but why would we?
