If you start to feel like you’re repeating yourself when explaining your encounter with God, that’s ok.
We humans learn by repetition. The more you repeat your story, the deeper the Spirit’s work will go into your spirit. And the more often others hear it, the more likely they are to believe it and begin to desire such an experience for themselves.
Repetition also comes out of love. It’s why we have reruns. It’s why we create playlists and highlight reels. It’s why we re-read books or poems. Some things are simply worth enjoying all over again.
The re-telling of our stories as God’s people is a long-time spiritual practice. Repetition is an honor. If a story is worth telling at all then it’s remembering.
I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
Psalms 143:5
You don’t need a new story. An additional story. A flashier story. A more relevant story. Resist the urge to embellish. Just tell it straight. Again and again. However often you have opportunity.
