destiny

Destiny is a word that comes in a gift wrapped package of mystery and surprise and fear. In fact we choose our destiny through our daily actions. We become what we think about and act upon. The choices that we make form a portrait of our lives. If we surrender these choices to God He will make a masterpiece of our lives that reflects His glory. We were not made to be ordinary and mundane. Each one of us are called and destined to be a unique treasure that reflects a different part of God's beauty and majesty.

Part of the evil one's plan is to make us feel ordinary, and worthless, and temporary. We are ground down by the daily grind of trouble and struggle. We are created to be a valued and prized and eternal part of the universe. God has formed our destiny with His own hands and sacrifice. If we surrender to God and trust Him we will succeed. Life without surrender will culminate in our pointless destruction. We are the treasure. The treasures of the Lord will last forever. The treasures of this world will rust and fade. Our destiny lies with our choice to surrender or not to surrender to God. Our destiny is a package that God wants to fill with priceless surprises. Destiny should be a welcome word, and not a terrifying one. A treasure with nothing in it is a pointless one indeed. An empty reminder of what might have been.
