For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

 

Years ago I attended a church where one of its member’s famous saying was “It’s all part of the plan”. God’s plan! No matter what happened to someone, good or bad, he believed that it was part of God’s plan for that person’s life.

 

Weather you know it or not, God does have a plan for your life, and all of His creation. First, is to know Him and accept His free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. He cannot have a personal relationship with you unless your sins are forgiven. Sin and God can’t mix.

 

Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27

 

The second part of His plan is to incorporate your life into the body of Jesus Christ so you too can carry on His message of hope and a bright future for those who don’t yet know Him. Everything else that happens in and around your life, good or bad, is actually part of His plan to grow you.

 

Sometimes the things you encounter in life might not appear to be beneficial, but trust me, there is a seed of faith deep in your soul that only He can water and nourish. As that seed germinates, it pushes back the hard areas of your heart to produce fertile ground for greater things planned for your life.

 

Whatever you encounter in life, consider it part of His plan to do great things! God’s plan is always meant for good, even in the most difficult times of life. God bless!
