Destiny: Am I fulfilling my unique purpose?

Destiny fulfillment has a spiritual and a temporal component that parallels the two key personal identity dimensions of becoming who God says you are and doing what God designed you to accomplish.

The spiritual component is directly related to the Source from which you originated. Because you came out from God as a spirit being, fulfilling your destiny means living a spirit-driven life that reflects the image and likeness of God. It also means nurturing a relationship with God throughout your lifetime that prepares you to be united with Him for eternity. You are designed for the same journey that Jesus describes in chapter sixteen of the Gospel of John, verse twenty-eight: “I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

From a temporal perspective, fulfilling your destiny means representing God’s kingdom interests on the earth by fulfilling the unique purpose for which He created you. Again, Jesus is the Model to which you aspire. You want to be able to say like Him, “[Father] I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.”

The following questions and thoughts will help you assess how you are progressing.
