"God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life!!" That's Great! So What Is It?

[seoulsearch]

Well, in context, that verse was addressed to the Israelites while they were enslaved. It was God telling them they He had plans to prosper them. We often get confused by this verse when we don't "prosper". So don't use this verse if you are disappointed in what God may have not done in your life. But God's plan is still perfect.

It's interesting because I had never even been aware of this passage until my divorce.

It was during that time, and while realizing that a reconciliation was not possible (he married someone else), that my pastor highlighted this passage and brought it to my attention.

The emphasis wasn't on the "prosper" part, but rather on the, "God wants to give you hope... and a future."

You have encouraged me so much in shareing this!! Thank you!

Ya know.....irony does not escape me. There are times when one can say things are ironic, coincidence, etc....but sometimes we just have to smile and say, "yep, God, thanks again for winking in my direction."

As I shared, there are some heavy things going on in my life at the moment. And the fact that the words "Gods purpose" have been brought up twice in the last couple of weeks does not escape me.

It appears that God does work all things together for the good of those who love Him, according to his purpose.

Thank you again for shareing.....my heart needed the encouragement. Blessings!!

Thank you. You have no idea how much that helped. I'd been going over relevant scripture in my mind like 'do not fret it only leads to evil' and 'he will make your reward shine like the noonday sun', etc... but it was all just words to me and I felt that I've been a fool to believe that God cares about how I feel, then I saw what you posted and it was exactly the right message. God bless.
