On my way to destiny I realized that there is an anointing in "goodbye." We must understand that the anointing is God's ability in us, or that has been endowed upon us to allow us to do something with ease that would have otherwise been a struggle. Sometimes we have allowed some people to stay in our lives or we have remained in some places where we were not growing simply because we didn't know how to, or were just unwilling to let go for whatever reason.
This week I have been thinking a lot about "destiny." Next Saturday I was supposed to be standing on the beach in a beautiful gown marrying the man that I thought was the answer to my prayers. After ending the relationship, I can remember he said that we were supposed to be married but destiny got in the way. With the date fast approaching, I have been running that around over and over in my head. Then, I got it...I really got it...and a certain freedom came over me. First of all I had to realize destiny is about much more than our final stop. It is more about the journey that we are embarking on to become who God has purposed us to be. Destiny is a predetermined course of events. That lets me know that the things that happen to us while journeying through this life have come as no surprise to God. In fact, He has carefully orchestrated each event. So in my situation, we might have began planning a life with each other, but God's predestined plan was different for each of us. There are somethings that we are trying to hold on to that are not beneficial for where God is trying to take us and we have to be willing to announce the benediction over those things. Understand that some of those things are not necessarily bad. They may have simply run their course, the lesson has been learned, and it's time to say goodbye. Some of the things that we are holding on to might be creating a distraction and God is desiring to call you back to Him in this season. The good thing about it is that if God is calling you FROM something He has a plan to call you TO something better. I have always declared Jeremiah 29:11...For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. But what I have really been concerned with is....Lord what do you have for me in the end??? I know all of this is working for my good...but how does it play out in the end?? But on this new destiny walk, I am not as concerned about WHAT is at the end because I know WHO is at the end. So however He works it out, I know that it will be ok. My major concern as I travel this journey, is that I utilize all the tools that I have been given along the way to make me a better person. I am focused on learning from each lesson that I encounter along the way to my own personal greatness. I am convinced that God will continue to reveal His will for my life at each step of this journey. People always say God knows my heart, but on my way to my destiny, I pray that He will not only know my heart but I will know His.
