Destiny tells us that we are the scriptwriters of our life's own drama and that God is our editor who will decide whether or not our life plan is according to His will.. Life is full of uncertainties, there are no sure cards, only hopes and dreams that somehow and someday we will experience the fullness of life.

Um...that may be what YOU believe but that doesnt mean thats the way it is....FOR ME first off there is no god, not the one I'm assuming you are refering to at least...Secondly FOR ME...I planned my destiny before beign born this life...and everything goes and has gone accordingly...the good the bad the downright horrible was meant to be...its as I chose for it to be in order to learn and grown this life..and I'll do it again next time with different lessons....There is no editting...all is as it should be...

I don't believe in Destiny per se. I do believe in the eternal decrees of God, and the idea that he is one hundred percent sovereign over all that happens. But I also believe that people are making real choices.
So I believe that God makes choices, and that we make choices, and that they are the same choices. I do not however take that to mean that there is the same intent. We may intend an action for good or evil, but God always means it for good, even if that good cannot be seen by us now, and even if that good doesn't happen to match our limited definition of good.
I also make a distinction between God's moral will (the things He says are right or wrong), and his sovereign will (the things he wants to happen in order to bring about his good plans). So his sovereign will sometimes has in it action by humans which are not according to his moral will. But his [sovereign] will is for something good to come of the action, and the human is also choosing for the thing to happen.
It's like a parent letting a child make a mistake so they can learn from it. The parent, while in a sense willing that the mistake doesn't happen, in another sense wills the action so learning can come from it. This by no means makes the child a robot, or means the child isn't making the mistake or choosing the action. Both are willing the action, although both have different intentions.
I think that God has control, and so do we. It just happens that God's control is infinite and unlimited, while ours is limited.

Destiny is something magic in the world. And I believe it exists even though we can not say clearly when and where it will come alon g with you, but yes it is there.Take me for example, I remenmnered my mum (of cource she was told by the furtureteller)ever told me there is a God with me whenever I need. Yes firtly I just treat it with a joke,and later I find it was something right in my life, such as some important points, although it were some small details,but to some extent, my life changed .Here someone maybe say these are some good signs that we should believe in, then how about bad ones? It is a moral controler, no matter you believe it or not,please recites our only aim is gained our detiny.
