"...Jesus, the author [initiator, founder] and finisher [perfecter] of our faith." Hebrews 12:2Aside from the obvious comfort and assurance we have in the fact that our Sovereign God instigated our salvation and gave us regeneration through Christ's work and the Holy Spirit's influence (Author of our faith) AND that we have multiplied promises that He Himself will finish that work in us (Finisher of our faith), we also can logically be assured that all the stuff in between is being faithfully written out day by day by the same One.
And what a boring book our lives would be if they weren't filled with comedy, tragedy, tears, tranquility, upheaval, love stories and plot twists. Of course, there are champions, villains, faithful companions, and One True Hero. Sometimes the story is a quick read, but it can also become ponderous and thick (a la Faulkner-style stream of consciousness). However, there are chapters that are easier and even entertaining. But with every turn of the page, no matter what the content, the heart is filled and expanded. This is the case with those whose trust is in the Author and the Finisher.
BTW - He wrote my part in His book before I was born, and He's got my autograph.
