The future is assured—Jeremiah 29:11 ♥

"Go back to Jeremiah 29:11 and remind yourself the future is assured." 

This was a quick revelation to me last Monday so I shared it as a status on my facebook account. People say that we forget more of the basics. TRUE. Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the verses we often encounter. Sad how much it loses it's worth since we know it too much. I bet you could even memorize it word by word, with closed eyes, or even while brushing your teeth, eh? But how much do we know to live by it's meaning?

"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."

What moved me so much when I was reminded by this verse is that, God knows. God has never forgotten. He said it. "I KNOW." God has a plan. And that plan is a plan that will prosper us and not harm us. Our rebellious heart sometimes shouts Why, Lord? when we don't understand what is happening to our lives. That happens often. And that happens to me too. I am not an exception. We think we know much more than what God has for us.  I've stumbled upon a quote around the web and it says, "God wrecks your plan when your plans are about to wreck you." Nuff said. So isn't it a reason to celebrate everytime God wrecks our plans? Isn't it His way of saying, "I have something better in store for you, my prince/princess." Isn't it a call to be grateful that we are stopped from something that isn't good for us? Isn't it a way to remind ourselves that the future holds something great? :)

So smile, love :) Tomorrow is something better
