You know what is super freeing?
Knowing that whatever you do, God already knows about it.
Every decision I make, He knows. He knows my every move.
You know what else is freeking awesome?
"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
So often, when I hear people use this verse, I am very quick to judge. I am so quick to look at that person and think what a cliche. "You are gonna use that verse again...?" "Way to be original!"
Wow, could I be any more of a jerk?
This is Gods word. Not mine. Not yours. Not His. Not hers. GODS! Praise the Lord that He has grace on me.
Back to the verse, I am so beyond grateful for this verse. His love is so perfect that He has everything planned for me. I can pray and seek and pray and seek that I am doing His will, but in the end, all I can do is run through a door that is open and stop when the door is closed.
For that I am content. I am content in knowing that as long as I seek the Lord and am walking with Him, He is going to make my path known. If my decisions involve others, then as long as I am walking with Him and they are walking with Him, the decision that is being made will be the Lords. Praise God!
Even if its not the outcome I want, Its Gods. Its what He wants for me. It just means that He has something better to come, not only better for me but better in the other light as well.
So, again, for that I am content. Content in knowing His plans are His plans. Content in knowing His love and His grace. Content in Him.
Enjoy His grace, peace, mercy and love.
