The Gift You Are

The Gift You Are
Your life is a gift God has given to Himself. Your worth has already been determined as invaluable by God, to Himself. Life for you was never meant to be the compilation of everyone’s expectations. Your life is the sum of what God already knows about you, and it doesn’t frighten Him one bit! God believes in you. The proof of that is in the Destiny He has given you. Destiny is God’s faith in you, and His ability to accomplish that purpose through you. God cannot fail Himself! Destiny is a divinely charted course that God uses to define your purpose in life from His eternal perspective. He knows where you are going, even when you do not! Follow your heart; it is being led by your soul. You soul is the reservoir God fills with Destiny. Your soul is filled with the completion of eternal actions that are released in time through your life. God know where you are going even when you do not! Some will mistake your confidence for arrogance. Your comfort with who you are will make them uncomfortable. Those who listen inwardly; recognize confidence, as the symptom of wholeness, even when those closest to you do not understand, and will tell you you are too “soulful”. Confidence is the strength that comes from knowing who you are. Arrogance is the cheap substitution of personal projection in place of confidence. The real difference between confidence and arrogance is found in the purpose of its use. Confidence is used to promote others; arrogance is used for self-promotion. Don’t waste one second of your time seeking the approval or acceptance of others. The people who are important to your destiny will be led to you through providence. Approval by others is a fantasy that changes with their personal self-esteem issues; every time you get it, the conditions that were met to receive it fluctuate to another set of values, based on their emotional deficits. Acceptance is a tiny doorway designated for people who refuse to deal with their own personal barriers. You only walk through it when the opinion of others is most important to you, and you always have to bow to their limited point of view. Seeking the acceptance of one who has no ability to promote your personal growth is to epitomize mediocrity, and to settle for the ease of mere existence. You were never meant to be mediocre! People will provide you with one of two very separate opportunities; the greatest love you can comprehend, or the vilest depths of hatred you will ever know. The choice between the two is not theirs; the choice is yours. If you embrace every person that will come and go throughout your life as having divine possibility, regardless of their actions, you will have experienced a perfect love that leaves no place for fear. “Getting Even” is the act of lowering yourself to someone’s level of failure. We approach the act of getting even in an attempt to force those blinded by their own mistakes to see the light. Diving deeper into darkness does not increase light. Increasing light does not alter the ability of the blind to see. “Getting Even” is the futile exercise of increasing light to cure blindness. You are a rare and precious treasure. If you bury a treasure it only survives in a single moment of memory. Give it to the world and the treasure you are will create its own environment of people who travel from everywhere to understand its beauty. You are a rare and precious treasure! You are not becoming anything; you are simply discovering what you already are. What you are, was meant to emerge slowly; quite simply because the world can’t handle all of you at one time. You are a gift God has given Himself. What He enjoys the most about you is the simple fact of who and what you are. Just be!
