Each of us has a divine destiny. Before we were born God had our days numbered (Ps 139), Good works set out before us (Eph. 2:10) and a plan to give us a hope and future (Jer. 29:11).
To His glory and by His grace, we have been uniquely created and fully equipped to carry out His purposes with excellence. This life to the full (Jn. 10:10) is offered freely and is the keys to an overflowing ministry lifestyle but God will not force his divine destiny on us.
Your response to these biblical truths will largely depend on who you believe God to be. Who is God? Is he someone that we can fall in love with? A deep loving friendship with our creator is what aligns our devoted paths with our divine destiny. The journey is going to be a process but I truly think the thought of it makes God smile.
