Your Destiny

Your destiny in life may not be a specific street address. Your destiny in life may not have anything to do with being in a specific place at a specific time. Your destiny in life is more general than being in a specific place at a specific time and also more difficult. It is generally easy to be at a specific address at a specific time. It is a great deal more difficult to fulfill your destiny in spiritual terms. Your destiny from the time you are conceived until you leave your earthly body is to be a child of God. We do not always want to fulfill our earthly destiny because being at our address is so much easier than being a child of God.  To be a child of God is a great deal more difficult because to be a child of God we must renounce part of our humanity. To be a child of God we must turn away from the part of our life that makes us a sinner and turn to God. It is easier to arrive at our address than it is to reject our sinful self. It is because our destiny is to reject part of our sinful self and be children of God, that to reach our destiny in life we must kneel at the foot of the cross of Christ.  His cross is the ultimate address at which we are supposed to arrive. His cross is the ultimate address at which we are to live out our life.
