Attached To A Destiny

It is tough to navigate through life sometimes when you are conscious of the fact that your life is not really "your life". You understand that your life has been bought with a price and you have been created to bring God glory. Every adversity you endure is designed to make you stronger and to essentially draw out the true you.

The greatest things are birthed through resistance and pressure. A diamond wouldn't be a diamond without pressure. A butterfly wouldn't be strong enough to soar without the struggle of transformation.

I know that at times we look at ourselves as a "little me" with "BIG PROBLEMS". We have no idea that this "little me" has been designed to carry out BIG things. We have the ability to change lives and nations through the experience of our "BIG PROBLEMS". Our "BIG PROBLEMS" pale in comparison to the BIG plans God has destined for us.

It is easy to get caught up in the illusion of our issues and want to give up before we even reach our promise. Our minds often become conformed and we meditate on things that are not true. We create scenarios in our minds. We calculate our steps out of fear. We put ourselves in a box and limit our potential.

We think that because we have gone through something or endured a heartache that we will always carry that label. Maybe we even think we can never heal or move on past that place. What we fail to realize at times is that we might have had to pass through or endure a certain thing but we were not meant to remain there. Along our journey we have learned from the places we have passed through but our goal and final destination is beyond that. God has a plan for our lives. Everything is mapped out. All we have to do is keep pressing forward NO MATTER WHAT.

We are each attached to a destiny. No matter how much it hurts. No matter how much you don't understand and want to give up.......YOU CAN'T. Something deep down within you keeps the fire burning. You might have a melt down at times and want to pull over and look at your map again BUT your faith....your calling....your purpose keeps you going.

We each have a truth within us that supersedes anything we see with our natural eyes. Yes things may be falling a part in your life but that truth keeps you believing. That truth keeps you pressing towards your destiny. You might have to stop and recalculate your steps. You might have to regroup and chart a new course but God is faithful. You will reach your appointed destination.

During your journey you may have others trying to give you their opinion. They may give you advice from their own experiences but you have to stay focused. Your journey is not the same as everyone else's journey. People may not understand why you keep holding onto something that seems impossible. You may not even understand it at times either. There may be times that you get lost and lose focus but God will always be there to put you back on track. He will always be there to guide you and lead the way.

I know that other roads may seem easier and shorter but stay on course. God has already went before you and prepared the road. Although at times it may seem bumpy and you might feel alone know that God is always by your side. When things become uncertain, lean not unto your own understanding. Trust that the truth within you will carry you through. Never forget that you are attached to a destiny and there is no escaping it. No matter how hard you fight against it you will reach it. No matter how hard it gets you are strong enough to endure it.

Keep pressing and keep believing. Let God be your navigator and you will be just fine.

The end is greater then the beginning.
