GOD
HAS A SPECIAL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

Did you know
that God has a special plan for your life?
Before you even came to be, God had a special plan for your life.
PSALM
139:13-18
For you
created my inmost being;
you
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made;
your
works are wonderful,
I
know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when
I was made in the secret place,
when
I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all
the days ordained for me were written in your book
before
one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,
God!
How
vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they
would outnumber the grains of sand—
when
I awake, I am still with you. NIV
God loves
you with an everlasting love. He is your
Father and He is always with you.
PSALM
91:14-16
“Because he
loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he
acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer
him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With
long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” NIV
God does
have a very special plan for your life.
When He looked at David, He did not just see a shepherd boy, but a King
of Israel. When God looked at Gideon, He
did not see someone unworthy of God’s calling to defeat the Midianites but a
champion who would defeat the enemy. When
God looked at Sarah, He did not see a woman whose womb was barren because she
was too old to conceive, but a woman who would give birth to Isaac. God had a plan for their lives before they
were even born!
I believe
that when God looked at Martin Luther King Jr., He saw one of the greatest
civil rights leaders of all time. I
believe when God looked at Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he saw a man that would stand
up to the Nazi Regime who were slaughtering the Jews. I believe that when God looked at Mother
Teresa of Calcutta, He saw a compassionate servant to the poor and forgotten.
When God
looks at you, I believe He sees someone He loves very much. He had a plan, through Jesus Christ, to save
you from your sins so you would spend eternity with Him. I believe that when God looks at you, He sees
the plans He has for you and the person you were created to be.
How can you
and I know what God’s plan is for our lives?
Read the Bible because, in it, you will learn to know God and He will
reveal to you His plan for your life, as a child of God. You will learn about your inheritance as a
child. You will learn about the gifts
that He has for you to help you navigate your life in every situation because
He has also given us the Holy Spirit Who is our counselor and defender.
Maybe those
dreams that you had ever since you were a child were sent to you by God Who
fashioned you in your mother’s womb.
Maybe those were the plans God was speaking to you because He wrote a
book about you before you were born.
Some say that the angels read your book in Heaven and help you carry out
God’s plan for your life here on earth!
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. NIV
PSALM 37:4-5
Take delight
in the Lord and he will give you the desires
of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: NIV
God does
love us more than we can imagine. He
does have a special plan for our lives.
Just like an earthly mother or father, so He, Who is the Creator of all
things, knew His plans for you even before you were just a “twinkle” in your
mother’s and father’s eyes!
A Letter From Jesus:
Dear Friend,
I just had to
send you a note to tell you how much I love you and care for you. I saw you
yesterday as you were talking to your friend. I waited all day hoping you would
want to talk with me. As evening came, I gave you a sunset to close your day
and a breeze to rest you and I waited. You never came. Sure, it hurts me, but I
still love you because I am your friend.
I saw you fall
asleep last night and I longed to touch your face. Again I waited wanting to
rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you. You got up late and
rushed off to work/school. My tears were in the rain.
Today you looked
so sad - so all alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends
let me down many times too, but I love you.
If you would only
listen to me! I love you! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet
green grass. I whisper it in the leaves, in the trees, and breathe it in the
colors of the flowers. I shout it to you in the mountain streams and give the
birds' love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and sweeten the air
with nature scents.
My LOVE for you
is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or need in your
heart. If you would only know how much I want to walk and talk with you. I know
how hard it is on Earth. I really know! And I want to help you.
I want you to
meet my Father. He wants to help you too. My Father is that way you know. Just
call me - ask me - talk with me! Please don't forget me! I have so much to
share with you! Alright, okay, I won't bother you anymore. You are free to
choose me. It's your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will
wait, and wait, and wait, because I love you.
Your Friend,
Jesus
