I was on my way to an appointment on Monday and as I was driving I had some strange but not unusual thoughts concerning happiness and satisfaction. I thought "why don't I just move away from here (family, church, friends etc) and go to NC or the west coast and live there for a while? I bet i'll be happier over there since it's a change of scenery..." and so I have these recurring thoughts every now and then, esp when I'm feeling down. So as I continued to drive, the holy spirit revealed to me this scripture:
Jeremiah 29:11(NIV)
11 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.
I've read this scripture before, and have seen it many times and have thought about it many times. But that day was different. The message was more personal when God himself revealed it to me in my heart and mind spiritually. He emphasized "not to harm you" and "give you hope". It really made an impact, so thank you Lord my God. <3
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
