Journey VS Destiny

The journey is more important than the destiny

Destiny is what is 'meant' (perhaps) to be
what we 'should' become, come from,
it's the 'end of the line'
rather indefinable otherwise
this illusive thing we chase as our hearts race
I don't believe it changes
I think it was created, the same time as our little bodies
began forming, knit together in miraculous wonder like no other
unseen from prying eyes and untouched yet by worldly lies
as our souls were loving placed into the human race by the hand of God,
our destiny shone forward, within the intricately knit fabric of time
Created in the image of God
----------------------------
Journey is how we get there
the bumps, the turns, the tears
over years
heartaches, hope-aches
the long silences, the soft smiles
Time that equals miles and miles of unmeasured connections
afflictions
our aspirations that collide with fears
anxieties turned to beauty
heated moments of envy turned humility
on this large road map of life, where each line drawn, scribbled out, highlighted, tear streaked, and followed
I believe
our refining fire
that leads us carefully towards His desire
and shapes us to His --- Destiny

One and the same?
He knows my name ...
Journey is Destiny
How we get there is measured on earth in years
but from heaven -- it's the birth canal to Eternity
