In life we can be going in one direction and realize that it’s the wrong way. If we are embarrassed and keep heading that way we will find ourselves completely lost. We simply just need to ask for directions and we can be well on the right path in no time.
God made us to be in constant communion with Him. He created us to bear His image. Because of His image each one of us is intrinsically valuable. However, when the world became upside down we lost that connection and our way; but we never lost our value.
God looked to us like a loving parent to a child and saw His image. He couldn’t leave us lost, He sent His precious son to earth to rescue us and restore us back to Himself. Jesus gave His life for ours in the great exchange, so we could receive His right standing with God; and be His children upon whom He lavishes His love.
As we receive Jesus, we receive the beautiful Holy Spirit as our guide. As we spend time in prayer and reading the Word of God, we will find that we are led in the direction that God has for us. Our guide will make course corrections when we get off course and He will lead us into our divine calling. The more we fix our eyes on Jesus and stay in communion with Him, the more we will be able to effortlessly flow with Him into the unforced rhythms of grace that lead to our destiny.
