Most people have no clue about what they were designed for. Many may have crazy dreams, secret passions, special skills, a very specific ambition, but the chances are that majority don’t have much idea how they’ll accomplish it! And maybe you’re wondering, ‘Am I ever going to get to where I’m supposed to be? Wherever you’re at, you’ve got to believe 100% that you’ve been designed for something.

Steve Jobs, the deceased American computer entrepreneur, and innovator could be said to be truly one of the most person of significance and impact in life. Yet, his beginning in life was inauspicious enough. He was adopted at an early age, became a college dropout after just only one semester, slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, collecting Coke bottles for food money, which he augmented with weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple. Still he was determined enough to continue auditing courses at the same school where he dropped out, working here and there before eventually becoming co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc.

Surviving a crisis and turning it into growth means re-tuning your thoughts, refreshing your perspective on life. It may be painful to face the facts of your situation but to grow from a crisis, you need to assess the damage, learn which hopes, dreams, and expectations were violated by the event, then make adjustments where needed. You may not feel courageous or hopeful right now, but look inside you and realise that you have a life waiting to be tapped! Even though you don’t have human strength today, you can call on God. He is a rock, fortress, and deliverer, a keen and firm strength in whom you can trust and take refuge. Redeemed, recycled, and redirected, you can make it.
