We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it”! Ephesians 2:10 (TPT)

No matter who people say you are, who you think you are, or what you have been called, the truth is this: you were created and made new in the image and likeness of God, to carry His glory and fulfill the divine destiny He has called you to. First and foremost, you are joined to Jesus—your Redeemer and Friend—for all of time, and you are a cherished child of the Most High God, precious and priceless in His sight.

Others may try to place their fingerprints on you, shaping you into who they think you should be—often based on their own expectations or needs—but you belong to Him alone. Your identity is secure in Him, and your destiny is established.

As you abide in Him and He in you, you live in the authenticity of who you truly are. In this place of belonging, you are accepted, celebrated, deeply loved, and cared for—chosen, cherished, and completely free.

Do not let anyone else define your identity or tell you who you are meant to be, for you are unique and beautiful in every way—a song of God’s own poetry. Sing your song, beloved. Shine brightly in His love for all the world to see.

Prayer

Precious Lord, I ask You to dust off my destiny today—everything You have planned for me. In all the ways it has been hidden, trampled down, shaped by others, or marred, I ask You to make it new again.

I long to walk in the fullness of all You purposed for me from the beginning of time—the abundance of life, the richness of love, and the path You designed—walking in Your ways alone so that I may honor You.

Joined to You, Jesus, I know this is what is true, for in You is the fullness of life. In You I am safe and loved, cherished and cared for, and I am free.

Let me reflect Your beauty to the world, I pray, dear Lord. Let me reveal the kindness of our loving God as I live in You and live out all You created me to be.
