Becoming God's Storytellers - David Knebe; 11/23/14

A mandate of words:
grace-full
and spicy discourse
wielded well.

Stories draw
better than formulas
and dry,
four-point laws -
as humans are more pleasant
with flesh covering bone.

Humans are flawed characters,
facing conflicts
and antagonists,
braving adversity
and choosing
the wrong door more often than not,
but loved
unreasonably
by a brave, self-sacrificing
Hero.
Living within that story
will flavor our words.
Knowing the Hero intimately,
we will brag on Him
and smile fondly.
Connections can spark
from common, day-to-day
tinder.

Wait for the power...
ask...
trust...
and tell.
