If you don't find yourself in a compelling story you'll be captured by a lesser one.

Story

If you aren’t living a compelling story you’ll be captured by a lesser one. The story you are living is much bigger than you. You’re just a tree. The story of the forest is the compelling story.

What story are you living?

  1. That’s an interesting way of putting it. I don’t want to live the story of someone who worked to put food in their mouth and then retire. I long to live a story greater than myself.

  2. I love Donald Miller and I love the idea of “story”. I’m living in His story, not mine.

  3. So the glad the story is bigger than me. I am a part of an eternal glory that all belongs to Him. Simple and profound way to say this, Ryan. Thanks.

  4. This reminds me of something I heard a few years ago:

    You can’t say no to anything until you first said yes to something else.

    It’s a quote I’m challenged by in living a better story. Until I have said yes to a story greater than myself, I can’t say no to lesser stories. Great post, Ryan.

  5. So thankful my story has been rewritten by a epic loving God who has given me life more abundantly!
