PAST, PRESENT AND POTENTIAL

Psalm 139:16 NLT 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

I read this quote last week ‘Man looks at you through your history, but God sees you through your destiny.’  

We’re probably all very grateful for that, to know we even have a destiny because of Jesus!😊

No doubt we’ve all had days that we wish we could erase or change the outcome for some reason, but no matter what our past has been, God has already dealt with it at the Cross. 

God has already seen who He has made us to be and what He wants us to become in Christ and our part is to let Him lead us into it.😊

Jesus has already taken care of our past, present and future sins, all nailed to the Cross and God says He remembers them no more, so we need to let them go as well whether they were five minutes ago, or 40 years ago! We can thank God we’re forgiven, and live for His glory in the here and now, knowing our eternal destiny has been taken care of by Jesus.

Jesus said He only did what He saw His Father do, and only said what His Father said, so how much more do we need to do the same, now that we belong to Him. We know His plans for us are for our good, but they will also be for the good of others, because we’re here to tell others about Jesus and what He’s done for us.😊

So, what’s your destiny? Jesus said in John 10:10 NLT … My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. That is God’s plan for us, and You and I are here to change the destiny of the lives of others as we tell them the Good News that God wants to be reconciled to them, to forgive them and give them a future and a hope as well.

What an exciting privilege we have, what a destiny, what a calling!

Lord, help us fulfil the destiny you have already planned out for us, for Your glory, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
