you were made for this day

a wise friend blessed me with those six words.  here's my take on what they might mean:

    ------------------

all that has gone before
every last crumb of your checkered past: 

your first shot at life
your upbringing
downbringing
your swings and misses
victory marches
your combat tooth and nail
failures on your face
your public mistakes

your scrambling 
desolation
re-education
restoration
survival
and revival

all of them brought squarely into this moment
by Your Maker Himself
shaping you
with His powerful holy hand
into NOW

NOW

arising up from the dark soil of your  life 
there emerges this
vibrant fruit
to be harvested 
in ways you could never fathom
in your wildest imagination

you
were made
for this day.

  2. Ha! I'll have to give that some thought. I wasn't going there, but now I'll have to look at it with that in mind. Thanks for the idea.
