What...'I'...Wanted to Be

God made us all and endowed us with different gifts and abilities for His Purpose. We all know what we want to be, but what does God want us to be? And what is His main objective? To save us! That is, to get us to our eternal home. Consider something; on the Pyramid of Life there’s a top and there’s a bottom. Where does God want each of us to be? Sometimes in our struggle to reach the ‘top’, where we want to be, we stray so far from where God wants us to be. We can’t all be at the top, so then…are we satisfied with where God has placed us? Think about it…Amen. Pressing on!


Poem Artwork

How Great You are, Oh Lord My God

You formed me from the earthly sod

Throughout my life these many year

You’ve walked me thru briar and tare

No, I’m not the woman…I…wanted to be

I’m simply…how You made me~

 

Your…entire way Lord, Your…will

I’m here at Your feet Your call to fulfill

Your Everlasting Love…did search

Rescuing me from my blind perch

No, I’m not the woman…I… wanted to be

I’m simply…how You made me 

 

Ego’s flashing lights often arrive

Trying to tempt me …to ride

But I know I’m a part of Your plans…

And my life is in Your Hands

Existing in a capsule of Your making…

I’m content…all other things forsaking

 

All of my days I’ll praise Your Name…

Glorifying Your Power and Reign

I’m on the road that will lead me…home

Now, eternal life awaits…no more to roam

So glad, I’m not the woman…I… wanted to be

But simply…how You made me

 

Is 43:1-2, Is 48:10, Ps 71:6-8, Hos 11:3-4, Jhn 3:16, 2Cor 5:17

Now I'm wondering what you could've been had you not been so tied up in the cult of religion.

God made our chosen path and we walk in it.
We are who God wants us to be.

At the end of our journeys,
we look back at our footprints and, realize:

We have not been alone.
God has always been walking with us.

Your premise is an interesting one, but I am not sure I agree with it. After all, on the Day of Judgement, we will have to give account "for the person we have made ourselves become." That's free will for you. Just a thought.
