Live By Design: Crafting A Life You Love

There’s a quiet peace in knowing that what’s meant for you will always come to you—no striving, no struggle, just divine timing. God has a way of aligning things perfectly, even when the path feels unclear. You don’t have to chase after your dreams with desperation; they’re already on their way to you, guided by a greater plan. Trust that what is truly yours will not miss you. It will find you, right on time, exactly as it should.

Take comfort in the truth that you are never alone on this journey. Life’s twists and turns are all part of a bigger picture, one that’s unfolding with purpose and care. Release the need to control every outcome and instead walk in faith, knowing that your future is held securely. What’s meant for you will find you—whether it’s love, opportunity, or joy—because the universe always delivers what’s yours. Keep your spirit open, and let life surprise you.
