For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. JEREMIAH 29:11-13
THIS SCRIPTURE GIVES ME SO MUCH COMFORT BECAUSE IT ENSURES ME THAT GOD HAS GREATER PLANS THEN THE PLAN I HAD IN MIND. ISN’T THAT ENCOURAGING!
MY GOALS WAS SO LIMITED WHEN I WAS IN THE WORLD. I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY STAYING AT HOME IN LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA IN A APARTMENT WORKING A NORMAL JOB. I SAY NORMAL NOW, BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR $5.15 AN HOUR. I HAD DROP OUT OF SCHOOL MY LIFE WAS VERY HECTIC AND I WAS VERY DEPRESSED. I REMEMBER FOR ABOUT A YEAR I STARTED TO HATE WHERE I WAS. I WAS TRIED OF THE LIFESTYLE I WAS LIVING SAME OLD, SAME OLD STUFF EVERY DAY. NO CHANGE SEEING THE SAME OLD FRIENDS WASTING THEIR LIFE JUST LIKE I WAS. BUT THEY SEEM TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
I WROTE POETRY A LOT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEN I WOULD READ WHAT I WROTE AND GOD BEGIN TO SPEAK TO ME THROUGH MY POETRY. TELLING ME THAT HE WAS THERE AND THE LIFE I WAS LIVING WAS LEADING TO A ROAD OF DESTRUCTION. IF I WOULD SAY YES TO HIM MY DARK PLACE WOULD TURN INTO LIGHT. GOD BEGIN TO SPEAK LOUDER AND LOUDER.
I PRAISE GOD THAT HE PURSUED ME IN THE MIDST OF MY FAILURES. HE TOLD ME ,HE HAD BETTER PLANS AND IN ORDER FOR THOSE PLANS TO WORK I HAD TO LEAVE MY COMFORT ZONE. MY HOME IN LOUISIANA THAT ALONE WAS SCARY. I THOUGHT TEXAS WAS A FOREIGN LAND TO ME IT WAS.LOL
WHEN I WOULD CRY OUT TO HIM WITH MY WHOLE HEART. I COULD HEAR GOD CLEARER AND CLEARER.
I SOUGHT AFTER HIM WITH ALL I HAD WHICH TO ME WASN’T MUCH.
GOD STATED TO ME I WANT YOUR LIFE. YOU HAVE BEEN GIVING YOUR LIFE TO SO MANY THINGS NOW IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO RETURN TO ME.
BE ENCOURAGE GOD HAS PLANS AND HIS PLAN ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN OURS.
IF YOU HAVEN’T SAID YES
SAY YES TODAY YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THE DECISION TO FOLLOW SUCH AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!!!!
