Living Destiny with Shadow



The mystery of faith. It encompasses all we do, for we all have a faith system, whether we are aware of it or not. That faith system directs our actions, influences our decisions, and colors everything we see. For the spiritual person, it also helps us discern what God is trying to say to us in this life.

The Old Testament often represents God speaking to an individual through a dream. Perhaps this is to demonstrate how discernment of God's plans carries with it a shadow of uncertainty. Here on earth, we will always see through a veil. And this is the fact of life. For those who want to be sure, well, they will have a long wait, or they will live in delusion. And I consider that kind of life rather static.

Do we find our destiny? I think we can. And I think it always reveals itself in what empowers us. If we are living from day to day, bored, stressed, frustrated and disillusioned, I think we may need to do some better discerning. For destiny should bring with it a sense of fulfillment, peace, and inner joy. Destiny is finding our place in God's plan, and that always makes one whole.

Destiny, fate, providence. All such aspects of our life of faith take the inner eye of reflection. And if we believe in the presence within, we will not need the certainty without.
