Rewrite My Script

“I am grateful to God that neither sin nor death is the end of my story. His death is the power by which I will overcome sin. His resurrection is the down payment for my resurrection. I thank God for the victory through Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57, Personalized)

The term “rewrite my script” means “to change or alter a written text, such as a play or movie script, to improve it or to make it different in some way.” Ai Overview.

Left up to man, our life script would be vastly different from our own. We would be stuck with labels despite our transformation. As human beings, we are quick to judge whether we mean to or not, but we can never know the inner workings of the Holy Spirit on the heart. In Jesus’ interaction with Nicodemus, He said that “the wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” John 3:8, NLT.

As a writer, I am intrigued by how God intimately wove His Master plan into our lives. Our purpose is etched and revealed more and more as we rely on Him sometimes creating a total reversal of the path, we set upon. In the Bible we find many transformative stories. Moses, Samson, Jonah, Zacchaeus, Naaman, Mary, Paul and countless others’ lives were changed. One of my favourite texts is from Jeremiah 29:11, NIV which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

Rahab, known as Rahab the Prostitute (Joshua 2), became the lineage through which Jesus came to this earth. “Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse...” Matthew 1:5, NIV.  “By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.” Hebrews 11:31, NIV. The scarlet cord that draped the window to be her lifeline foreshadows the cord that binds us through the blood of Jesus Christ.

On Calvary’s cross, all our scripts were rewritten, for none of us are righteous on our own. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16, NIV

We should give God thanks and praises that He is able to rewrite our scripts for the better. I thank Him for improving on my script and on my life each day, and for revealing His purpose and desire. He takes the pain in our story and makes the plan for our story. He gave us hope and a future.

‘Yet as you will see in the stories that follow and as Scripture attests, our faithful, loving God has the power to redeem the unredeemable and to turn ashes to beauty, not just in spite of the injuries we have suffered, but actually through those very wounds.” - Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for holding the pen of my story. Help me to trust in Your title not man’s. You move me from sinner to saint, from my past to Your future, from ashes to beauty, from mourning to full joy. Keep my eyes ever near and before the cross. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
