Make sure you are on track to fulfill your mission. How often do we think of this &#8212; and realize that no matter how astray we have gone, Christ in His Power can get us back?<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"><i>Recover your destiny.\u00a0<\/i>That&#8217;s important because according to the research I did for a book <em>(<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bookstore.spiritdaily.com\/collections\/michael-h-brown-books\/products\/br-what-you-take-to-heaven-michael-h-brown\">What You Take To Heaven<\/a><\/span>),<\/em> one of the first things that will be &#8220;reviewed&#8221; when we die is how many of our missions we fulfilled. We want to see those completed!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">In prayer, invoking the Holy Spirit, you can find guidance in what your mission is (and how to fulfill it). The idea of a mission is one of a number of characteristics you find in near-death experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">There are others:<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8212; Those who have &#8220;died&#8221; and return report that the experience was unexpectedly pleasant. It was not fearful, in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8212; Often, the first spirits they encounter are deceased loved ones, their guardian angels, or Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8212; They are astonished that what they thought was a big deal in their lives was not what God thought of as a big thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8211;They see how &#8220;little&#8221; things can be extremely important<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8211;They see that love and how they treated others was paramount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8211;They perceive an incredibly beautiful landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8211;They feel an absolute sense of peace and well-being such as goes beyond any earthly description.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8211;They see everything in their lives as if it is a movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">One woman said she was told &#8220;that I had died prematurely and must return to earth. I felt them saying it was important that I return to earth, that I had a mission to fulfill, but I resisted it in my heart. This was my home, and I felt that nothing they could say would ever convince me to leave it. The men conferred again and asked me if I wanted to review my life. The request felt almost like a command. I hesitated; no one wants their mortal past to be reviewed in this place of purity and love. They told me that it was important for me to see it, so I agreed. A light appeared to one side, and I felt the Savior\u2019s love beside me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8220;Oh, my goodness, I should have known!&#8221; you will say when you see what your earthly mission had been. &#8220;Of course. Oh, that\u2019s why such and such occurred. Oh, I see why that was arranged. Oh, my, I understand why those who were involved were involved \u2013 I see why I met everyone!&#8221; I write in an (God-willing) upcoming book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">But paramount is what you were meant to accomplish, and how you went about it. When they are sent back, it is because they have &#8220;work&#8221; to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><i><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">&#8220;You have not completed your mission.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">In most cases, love was the key. It is love we are here to learn. When we learn it well, there is nothing to fear!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">If we feel we have fallen short thus far, it is time to pray to the Holy Spirit to erase past failures and now open up vistas that will recover our destinies &#8212; what God designed as our fates &#8212; and make up for lost time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Prayer to Redeem Lost Time<\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">O my God! Source of all mercy! I acknowledge Your sovereign power. While recalling the wasted years that are past, I believe that You, Lord, can in an instant turn this loss to gain. Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that You can do all things. Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Your grace, both now and in the future, that I may appear before You in &#8220;wedding garments.&#8221; Amen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Saint Teresa of Avila<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">[resources:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bookstore.spiritdaily.com\/collections\/michael-h-brown-books\/products\/br-tower-of-light-by-michael-h-brown\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Tower of Light,<\/i><\/span>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bookstore.spiritdaily.com\/collections\/michael-h-brown-books\/products\/br-the-other-side-michael-h-brown\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>After Life,<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<i><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sent To Earth<\/span><\/i>]<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"archives,inspiration\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1721548290\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Archives: Recover Your Destiny\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recover your destiny.
