Telling your story

When you tell people stories from your life, does it ever occurr to you the same story may never be told exactly the same? I don't have a specific script for many of the events that happened in my life to date. But when I'm in a casual conversation and i find myself telling someone a life story, it hit me that it's the same story, but i can tell it so many different ways and from so many angles...and I'm just one person!!. It started to make me think of the Gospels...here we have one major event...the most important event in the history of mankind, yet we have four gospel writers who tell the same story from four perspectives. They all give the same information, some more on specific topics...another writer hitting events that one of the others may not have written....but ALL the same story of Jesus' redemption for   mankind. Think about that next time you're telling your story or just chewing on events from your past. Even specific scriptures can hit and enlighten us in different ways at certain points in our life. I once heard it said that scripture is like a perfectly cut diamond...you can look at it from different angles and see different things, all from the same gem. How true that is!
