Destiny is the purpose of your being. We talk about dreams, goals, expectations ... but do we identify our destiny? There are those who run away from it because of fear, or simply because they have no faith in themselves. Destiny does not only cover individual purpose, but includes relationships as well. A colleague of mine was determined that a certain boy was her destiny, that he was the one to live her life with. Everyone said ‘no’ he is not the one. The relationship had endless arguments, and clearly it was a one way relationship as the boy made it obvious that he was not interested. She bought him expensive gifts, made endless calls, and tried her very best to please him. She had set her mind that he was the one and refused to let it go no matter how difficult it was. Finally, God had to intervene, and it brought her to a place of hurt, anger, and depression. Her situation became so dark, and finally she said, ‘Fine, God I trust You’ and she let go. Three months after that, she brought herself together again, and picked up the broken pieces and started a new. The guy that was meant for her was brought to her doorstep. She tried relentlessly to please her own will, but God had a better man picked out for her, and she stands today with a strong healthy relationship and has made it a point to make God the centre of it. Considering lack of faith and fear, it does not only derive from self, what people speak over you also adds to fear. A friend of mine had a passion to dance; he loved doing it, and was at his greatest potential doing so. However, there is always doubt when you step out into something fresh. People did not see it as a career for him and questioned how he intended to make a living out of it. This pushed him to look for a day job and teach dance ‘part time’. The schedule did not work very well. Every job he got, he could not meet the objectives set out for him. He put in so much will power but failed miserably. Knowing that teaching dance was what he was called to do, and that it was his destiny, he could not bring himself into believing the potential dance had. Once again, this was clearly God intervening to say, you could try a million jobs, but I am going to bring you back to your destiny. Today, he teaches dance fulltime, he could not be any happier than he is now with the impact he has made and is making. Destiny could be a huge decision and you may stumble, but destiny isn’t about your comfort zone, it is about where you are striving at your greatest potential and it brings the greatest content. https://facebook/capturingtheroot
