You foreordained me.

Jeremiah 1: 7-8 NLT

“Go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you.”

I have been worried about my purpose in life and if I have been doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I then realized if God didn’t want me in a certain place things change and I would move on. I realized that I must “not cast away my confidence, which has great rewards.” Hebrew 10 verse 35. I believe that God knows me by my name. I also believe that God knows me when I was in my mother’s womb. God set me apart and that is why I don’t always fit in.

If I think about it God knows everything about me, my past and my present and my future. My days are scheduled and God’s in control. I know that I am different because God has sanctified me and set me apart. That is why I don’t fit in sometimes and I feel like I don’t belong.

God has foreordained me and He has a plan for my life. I don’t what the future holds for me but I do believe God knows and is moving things around for me. I love You, Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You have called me, I belong to You. I dedicate my life into Your hands and I believe You know what my future holds. Please, Lord Jesus Christ, give me peace in my heart and help me stand firm. I am drawing near to You. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward. God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
