How you define your life determines your destiny. This is a quote from Rick Warren from his
book “The Purpose Driven Life.” Another
way of putting the quote is, the way we see ourselves is the way we will live
our lives. Every one of us has a
different way of seeing things. Have you
ever been to a seminar or event and you came out of the event believing that
you got so much out of it and it was the most wonderful thing on the
earth. The person setting right next to
you could have gone to the exact same event and they hated it. They got nothing at all out of the
experience. That is because of the way
the two of you processed the experience.
The sad thing is that you could have come out of the event
and changed your life. You could have
gone on to do great things, but the person setting next to you didn’t do
anything at all. He went back to the
cubical in his office and complained about everything for the rest of his
life. We all see things
differently. We all process through a
different set of programming in our brains.
Many of us go to all of these self-help gurus to try and
figure out what’s wrong with us, get the help we need, and finally do the thing
in life that we were destined to do.
That may work; I’m not trying to put them down. I believe that many of these people are
sincere about the work they do and they really want to help others. But there is a better way.
God sees us from a totally different perspective. He does not see us from the programming that
we have in our subconscious, He sees us from the way He created us. His word says, “Eye has not seen, nor ear
heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared
for those who love Him.” (1 Cor. 2:9) He
sees us as limitless possibilities.
There is an old children’s song that says, “You are a
promise, you are a possibility, you are a promise with a capital P, you are a
great big bundle of potentiality.” We
don’t sing that song much anymore, but I sing it to my granddaughter every time
I get a chance. She is only one year old
and she needs to know that she is a great possibility in God.
Why is it that we never see ourselves as a great
possibility? We have been stained by the
world, by the things that people have told us, and by what we feel are our own
limitations. If you see yourself in the
light of the person that created you, you can remove the limitations and go for
your highest destiny.
