In the movie, Forrest Gump, Forrest’s mother is dying, and he asks her, “What is my destiny, Mama?”
She shakes her head. “You’re going to have to figure that out for yourself,” she says.
His question grabs me. I don’t know about you, but I want to know my name. I want to know who I am and why I’m here. I know why people are here; I read Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Life, and, of course, I’ve read the Bible. But why am I here? What unique place do I have in this universe?
What identity, what destiny, what character, power and authority has God imparted to you?
Jacob wrestled with God and gained the name Israel. May you also find your identity in Him.
From the Bible:
Then He puts a sign on me that I am His treasured possession. Psalm 23:5 The Easy Bible
Remember, you are designed to make a difference!
