There is movement trending on Twitter in Dallas. In a city known for materialism and self-centeredness, this trend appears to fit right in. On the surface that is. But right now #MyStory is synonymous with #HisStory. It is hundreds of young adults throwing caution to the wind and proclaiming to the world that God changed their stories. #MyStory equals life change.

And we are in good company. How else could a murderer, the chief of sinners become one of the greatest proponents of the gospel? See also Paul. Or the guy who boasted in his visions become a man sent to prison and then raised to lead a nation. See also Joseph. Or how about the guy who lied about knowing Jesus after following Him everywhere and then boldly started The Way, now known as Christianity. See also Peter.

The Bible is full of imperfect people who God used to do great things. Their stories became His masterpiece. And He is using young adults in Dallas to start a movement. We are saved by grace because of what Christ did for us on the cross. But He didn't stay dead. He is alive and well. If you know Him, make Him known! He desires to use you for big things. Want to know the most exciting part? #MyStory is all about giving Him glory. Will you join us?
