Every Monday(ish) for the beloved Story Embers people! 🙂

This week, I will choose the verse Jeremiah 29:11.

“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.”

A very well known verse, I’m sure, but I thought it would be a good one to start with.

I chose this because, regarding me personally, I have been struggling with wondering what God’s plan for me is. I suppose I’m just stuck in that teenager-identity-crisis phase that some people go through, where they’re not really sure who they are or what they’re doing or what they’re going to do – needless to say, I’m sure some of you at least remotely know what’s going on. But that aside.

This verse is such a comfort to me because God knows. He knows! He sees me struggling, and He cares. He sees me floundering around in search of purpose. He hears my prayers. And he knows my future. Every bit of my life is held inside His hands, even when I feel like He’s a million miles away. He chose me while I was in my mother’s womb to do something that no one else but me can do. And he chose you. He chose us. And He sees us. He knows.

His hand is in every aspect of our lives, even if we can’t see it. And everything is going to be okay. More than okay! It’s going to be beautiful, and wonderful!

For I know the plans I have for you. You. He knows the plans He has for me. Plans to prosper me, and not to harm me. To give me a hope. A future.

It’s an absolutely beautiful thing, and it makes me feel infinitely grateful. He has our lives in His hands, guys. So we have no reason to worry. <3 I, personally, have no reason to worry. You, personally, have no reason to worry. Let that just sink into your soul, and give you peace.

Love y’all! <3
