hello cell. ((:
sorry for not updating for so long. been pretty busy.
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.
Jeremiah 29:11
if you're unsure of whereever you are in your life, if you're unsure whether you'll make it through school, if you ever think you're not good enough, not smart enough in your studies, not good enough to serve God, i'm here to tell you that God says that your future is bright !
he knows the plans He has for you ! before you were born, he already planned out what he wanted to do with your life. he already planned what kind of person he wanted you to be. and his plans are to prosper you! not to harm you, but prosper ! and the word prosper does not mean only money! prosper means in your health as well, your peace of mind, your spiritual life, that you may soar with Jesus above the heavens, prosper in every area of your life!
he has no plans to harm you ! dont think of God as someone who's holding a thunderbolt in His hands, waiting for any opportunity to throw and shoot you with the thunderbolt just of some sin you commit. he's not that kind of god ! he's a loving god, because the bible says, 'he He did not withhold his own son, how much more, will he FREELY give us all things !' he wants to bless you !
and lastly, the verse ends with ' to give you a hope, and a future.' he wants to give you guys a hope. a hope beyond your imagination. a hope that will transcend into faith, a hope that in Him, you'll find all you need ! your future is secure guys. i used to think i was dumb, doubting whether i'll make it through my studies and all. i was failing everything back in sec 3, and i got L1R5 46 points for my mid years in sec 4. i was demoralised, i was devastated, and wanted to just give up. but now i look back, i know that god's hand is in everything.
if god's work is perfect, then your future is perfect ! its just the way he wants it, there's no faults, there's no last minute changes. its prefect, the way exactly god wants it for you. you may doubt yourself, but dont doubt god ! because he is faithful, till the very end. he could have come down from the cross halfway, and said ' this is too painful, i dont want this anymore.'
he could have. but he didnt. he went to the cross, just like a lamb, going for the slaughter (isaiah 53). he did the finished work, so that you can reign in this life. so that you can have the assurance that your future is perfect, your salvation is perfect, your life is gonna perfect, just the way god wants it to be.
godbless !
