Destiny

What are we here for? What were we really put here on earth for? What is our personal call for this life?

Is it our destiny to be a doctor, or a nurse, or a preacher, or a mom, or a wife, or a husband? Is that our ultimate destiny for this world? I don’t believe that destiny is limited to a career path, a title, or a position. Even though we are in this world and our call for this life involves this world, our destiny is higher than this world. I believe that our ultimate destiny is intimate relationship with God and shining God’s glory on other people.

When you spend time with someone you start to reflect part of them. You start to take on their accent, you start saying things that they say, and you start to be more and more like them. That is a natural thing that happens. It works the same way in the supernatural. The more we are interacting with God, talking to God through our daily routine, spending time with God, we start to reflect His glory, His glory starts to shine through us.

I think that that is more along the lines of our destiny than a career path, a soul mate, or anything that this world has to offer. By limiting our destiny to something natural, we miss out on opportunities to see the supernatural at work in your life. God wants to be more than your decision maker, more than your master, more than your friend. God wants to be your life.

And as we gain a passion for Christ and as we pursue Him, remember that He is more passionate for you than anything anywhere. He pursues you more urgently than anything else. Not only is He our prize, our goal, and our love, but we are His prize, His goal, and His love. Find your destiny in a relationship with Him, not in what you do, because God is most interested in you.
