Tell Great Stories, Live Great LivesSample

Live A Great Life

Everything about you says something about you. This means that the way you live and the stories you tell need to align. In fact, how you live is a story in and of itself. Have you ever wondered, what does the way I live say about me? Or what does the way I live say about God?

Jesus lived a life full of meaning and purpose. He lived in a way which encouraged people to step up while challenging others to step down. He held himself with dexterity which raised intrigue, whilst also flipping tables which raised eyebrows. He extended grace to the sinner, instilling value, whilst challenging the values of the religious.

As a follower of Jesus, you are empowered to do the same as Jesus. You are empowered to encourage, raise intrigue, extend grace, instil value and show and tell the goodness and power of God. In the book of Acts, before ascending to Heaven, Jesus releases His followers to be power-filled storytellers. He says:

“I promise you this — the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces — even to the remotest places on earth!” — Acts 1:8 TPT

You can feel confident to live a great life because you have been given the Holy Spirit. Jesus didn’t just show you how to live and then leave you on your own; no, He empowered you. The same power that opened the eyes of the blind and raised the dead has been given to you. The same Holy Spirit which inspired the writings of the Bible and revives the repentant heart lives in you. You can live confident to share Jesus knowing you have the Holy Spirit with you.
