For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. – Jeremiah 29:11-12
Happy Holidays and I hope that each of you had the Merriest of Christmas’s. I apologize that I didn’t give you all a Christmas post, but I hope that you all celebrated the birth of our Savior in a very special way. As we begin to move into a New Year, the newest year that everyone is sure will be our saving grace from one of the hardest years that many of us have ever experienced, have felt as though our loving Father wants us to look and seek him in the coming year versus looking to the change of a calendar or a clock.
Maybe this will sound like a word from a vengeful or angry God, but I believe it is His loving request for us to “Return to Him”. If you take one look at the world we are currently living in, you know that this society has lost its way. Instead of simple kindness, our society has become “politically correct” and instead of “sticking with it” when things get hard, our society’s motto has become “move on” to what seems like greener pastures.
So, as the person who needs to make a change of her own this year where I focus on added patience and less jumping the gun and letting frustration and anger take over. Let’s all heed his alter call and remember that…
A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his step – Proverbs 16:9
The truth is there is no better place to be than in our Fathers arms. So, if you have been running towards your plan this year. Set a new goal in 2021 and heed His loving call. I believe it will be exactly the change that we have all been looking for.
I agree. Thanks so much for these encouraging words. Great reminder of what is God’s always wanting what is best for His Beloved Children. And how He calls out to all who will hear. Love you and thank you.
