My Story Slides Statements If I told you my story, You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go And if I told you my story, You would hear Love that never gave up And if I told you my story, You would hear Life, but it wasn't mine He offered me Living Water that would change my life and He said I would never thirst again. The day I met Jesus; my story changed forever. He turned to us and asked, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” In that moment, I knew. I knew He could . . . and He would! My life would never be the same. God knew that I was tired of the way I had been living, and He wanted to make me new. Oh, how I wanted and desired for God to do that for me!
