Your
destiny in life may not be a specific street address. Your destiny in life may
have nothing to do with standing beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris, standing on
top of the Statue of Liberty in New York City, or walking along the top of the
Great Wall in China. 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. Being at a specific address at a specific time is generally easy.
Fulfilling your destiny in spiritual terms is a great deal more difficult. 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 your home address is so much easier than being a child of God. To get to
a specific street address at a specific time may be difficult, but in most
cases, getting to the street address is humanly doable. 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 making us a sinner as we turn to God. Arriving at your home address is much easier than rejecting our sinful self. Our destiny is to reject part of
our sinful self and be children of God. As we reach our destiny in life we must
kneel at the foot of the cross of Christ. If every human being on earth were to
reach their destiny, all human beings on earth would meet at the foot of His
cross. 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.
