If you go to a bookstore or library you can find hundreds of biographical books. The life stories of athletes, politicians, leaders, celebrities, and even despicable people are available for purchase or loan. Some of these stories inspire greatness and others make us groan with sadness.
Ephesians 1:15-16 says, “For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.”
Every moment of every day we are writing the story of our lives through our decisions and actions. We constantly make the choice of doing good and writing a worthy story or choosing to do wrong and writing a groan inducing story. Paul heard the story of the faith and love of the people in the church in Ephesus. He was inspired by their story and gave thanks for them. Make sure your life story is worthy to be told by the faith and love that you choose to give. This kind of story will be told through eternity.
