Your history

6 November  2012

 

Philippians 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

What impact have you had on history? Now this for some may seem to be a silly question, yet each of us are part of history and we are history in the making. First there is our personal history, that which involves our own experiences relative to who we are. Then there is our family history and the way each of us has influenced the behaviour and relationships with each other. Then we have the history of our community and various roles we all play within it. This in turn results in history of our nation and this world. Each of us make a difference.

So when we look at our past we need to ask ourselves what do we learn from it and how do we change for the better because of it. Our day that we have today is new, each with its own promise so it is a wise person that does not repeat the errors of yesterday. Sometimes the situations of history traps us in the present so that we seem to be a hopeless cause, the reality is that we are able to accept our history but make new history in this day. So each of us has the choice to make this day count and change history for the better.

Be encouraged today to make a change for the better.

Point to ponder: His story is the history of Jesus in this world.

Question to consider: What is you story?
