Designed with Destiny

I thought my chances were 1 in 200 but actually there was never a doubt.

It was destined.

I saw them hold up the package.  And there was a whisper, "This one."

Designed

[di zin] : intend something for particular use: to intend something for a particular purpose. Intended, meant, bound for, aimed at, predestined, preordained.

Being a created being, design is essential.  Each piece carefully selected and intended for a particular look and purpose.

What shakes me is that if this is true...doubting my beauty or choosing invisibility is separating me from my Creator.  It's the denial of His workmanship.  It isn't worship...it is sin.

Embracing my design leads me forward out of invisibility and into greater intimacy with God as I seek after and He reveals the parts of me that I've not always wanted or understood.  It's the moments where Jesus shows me something and I can only stop and go..."Oh... now I get that about me.  You did that on purpose."

Destiny

[déstinee]: inner realizable purpose of life: the inner purpose of a life that can be discovered and realized.  Fate, providence, future, purpose, intention, calling

Design meets destiny.  The design is done because there is an end to be met; so there is destiny.

As I understand more and more about God's intention and design the more I pick up pieces about my destiny.  Yes, the all-encompassing destiny of being in the presence of Glory, but even the details of my specific destiny.

Count me among those believe God does give specific revelation.  Pieces that have come together and some that remain only pieces at this time, until all things are revealed at the end.  Like these things...

Transformed through light.  Timeless.

But all is coming from my Jesus who is redeeming the brokenness, invisibility, and transgressions which had marred my original design, just as He is doing for all of creation.

So if you need to be reminded, you were designed with care, with an intent to reflect the Glory of the Creator.  You have a destiny that will come out of your design.  And the humility needed to walk with that is that the transformation to walk in that destiny is only bestowed, by Yahweh.

So this picture is always on display should I forget
