Witness in Court

No struggle is unwritten, or unforseen. Whatever results from your endeavors is destined. No matter what steps you take or words you say, it was and is known. Those steps and words are required for your destiny to be fullfilled. So look at life this way: you are playing an already-scripted life, and that all you do was already designed.

So how do you explain the fact that your actions are driven by spontaneous or well thought-out choices, and that the results correlate directly with those actions? How can it be destiny if you could have chosen to let go of the one you loved, or fight for them? How is it written that you will end up, or not, with that person had you not chosen to push?

It is far easier to say that unforseen events are destiny, and that the results of our actions are separate from that, and that fate does not guide our decisions.

But that is precisely where we have miscalculated. Consider yourself an unforseen event. Every decision you make is an event in itself. You cannot control others, so their actions are 'destined.' Therefore your actions are perceived in the same way by the others. Simply because YOU are the cause of something happening does not exclude you from the greater picture. You are a part of destiny, and hence every thing you do or think or say or believe was documented, and will happen no matter what.

You are executing the grand plan with every little move you make, although no move is so little. You cannot understand the effect of one ripple on the ocean, because you cannot see the entirety of the ocean with your two eyes. So trust the One Who can see everything, at once, in space and in time.

All you have to worry about is that in whatever fashion you reach your destiny, that you arrive with dignity and having been the best slave to God that you could possibly have been. That is in your control.

You can control your character. You can be devoted to God in all that comes your way, whether it is an outside event or something resulting from your actions.

Make your journey speak for you, not against you
