DESTINY

My Thoughts:
This is so very true,  you are the only soul that will ever be like you.  Once you come to the place of accepting the fact that there is Intelligent Design in the Creation around us.  Then comes the questions of: Why am I here and where am I headed in the scope of things?  What is my destiny.  We are far too wonderfully made to only live a few years and then be terminated.  Seems to me that we were created to fulfill a given purpose, a destiny,  but due to also having a free will we have to want to know it and to seek it out.  Otherwise we would just be a junk pile of robots parroting our given programs.. 

As for me at 87, as I look back over my life I am amazed at how the time has gone by so very quickly.  I remember very clearly being a very little boy and eating green apples in the apple tree in the farm yard like it was only yesterday.  I had blond curly hair and one day I plastered down with molasses.  Flies in the chicken yard really loved me that day.    And I am sure that you life is spinning by just as mine did.   So in light of your soul being created to be eternal where are you going to find good directions?   You already know that without good directions you may not get to where you want to go.  So where do you want your eternal soul to go for eternity?   Don’t think you have one?   But what if you do???????

The best information on getting to where anyone want to go usually comes from some one who has already gone there and left good directions.  In April of 1955, my personal decision was to trust Christ Jesus for the needed directions.  So, for the last 65 years,  with a few detours,  I have sought to learn from HIS experience and directions.  So at this point in my life I have very little doubt at all that HIS directions are good..  And that my Creator is pulling for me to keep on coming to HIM.  But bottom line,  It has been my quest and my victory through HIS grace.  But my family,  wives ( Outlived 2 and married to a 3rd) and my kids and family and friends have,  in many ways, stood in the way.  Their well meaning suggestions and fears have tended to side track me In my walk through life,  I have found it true, in my life,  that either Christ Jesus is LORD with HIS commandments in my life or that the map HE gave me will not work for me at all.  In fact,  I have found that The Creator will not alter HIS TRUTH at all to accommodate the carnal nature that I inherited from Adam at all no matter how I beg , connive and manipulate.  That HE loves, a proven fact.  That HE wants the very best for me, absolutely.  But that I can change his mind, a waist of time, a lost cause.  And I am learning that walking in HIS Loving Truth has far more Joy that being caught up in the worlds lies.   What we sow, is exactly what will grow in our garden of life and will reap many many times over.
