Destiny

Writer's picture: Sam JohnSam John

Destiny.


I wasn’t destined for this life.

I wasn’t destined for the hope I have in my heart.

I wasn’t destined for the peace that I own…


I was destined for pain.

I was destined for addiction.

I was destined for failure.

But… God. The one who saves. The one who redeems.


Pointed me to therapy. Pointed me to the 12-step program. Pointed me to RUF.

Pointed me to dreams…

Dreams that I could have never imagined becoming a reality.


But they didn’t come easy.

I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had to fight.

With everything I had.

Destiny was not an easy fight. It’s been the toughest I’ve faced. And it never stops hitting.

But… I never stopped growing. I never stopped dreaming. I never stopped trusting.

And destiny still arrives. But I fought o make it submit to the life I chose…

The life I fought for with every breath in my lungs.

Backed up by the power that knit the universe together in a snap of His fingers.
