In the Beginning, Reprise

In the beginning, God intended for you to pursue passionately His divinely ordained purpose for your existance. He designed that purpose for you and you for that purpose.

Your talents and fundamental characteristics, when fully developed and applied correctly, are the perfect tools for your specific assignment. You experience a richness and fulness of life that cannot be improved on when you are pursuing this destiny, regardless of obstacles, pain or opposition.

People find themselves attracted to you because you radiate peace and contentment. You have meaningful relationships that are deep and strong. You accept the failings of others because you are happy with yourself, including your own weaknesses and shortcomings. You have been forgiven, you embrace your own forgiveness, and you forgive others.

In the beginning, God created you for a fulfilling destiny. Are you moving toward it?

Dream the Impossible Dream

Deep inside, most people know they were created for more than the mundane, monotonous, "everydayness" of life. We long to be heroic, exceptional, and fulfilled, but instead we find ourselves frustrated and far from reaching our potential. We fear that our dreams and God's will are at odds and that God's will might make us unhappy or be unattainable.

But our personal dreams are often dreams that God has given us to pursue. In Discover Your Destiny, Bill and Kathy Peel look at the hopes and desires that shape our lives, giving readers the inspiration and courage to make those dreams come true. By evaluating our dreams in the light of Scripture, we can discern if a dream is part of God's will and our destiny.
