Your Story Isn’t Over

There was a time I thought my story was over. I’d messed up too much. I’d gone too far. Sitting in a cell, I was convinced I had reached the end. But God was just turning the page.

If you’re still breathing, your story is still being written.

The enemy wants you to believe you’re too broken. That your mistakes have disqualified you. But Revelation 12:11 tells us that we overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.” Your story is your weapon. Not in spite of what you’ve been through—but because of it.

When God began restoring my life, it didn’t happen overnight. But He was faithful to finish what He started. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He who began a good work in us will carry it to completion. You might feel like you’re still in the middle, but trust the Author.

Joel 2:25 says, He will restore the years the locusts have eaten. I lost years to sin, prison, and pain. But God is a Redeemer. And not just of souls—He redeems time, relationships, and purpose.

Now, I get to share my story to help others find theirs. I’ve seen addicts set free, marriages restored, and hopeless people rise up in faith. And it all started with a “yes” to Jesus in the middle of my mess.

Don’t hide your scars—they’re proof of God’s healing. Your story isn’t over. It’s just getting good.

Reflection Questions:

• How has God already used my past for His glory?
• What part of my story is He asking me to share?

Prayer:

God, thank You for never giving up on me. Help me believe that You’re still working in my life. Use my story to bring hope to others. Let my life be living proof that You are a God who restores. Amen.
