"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." (Jer. 1.5)
"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."Jer. 29.11

God's plans for me are for me, nobody else but me.
Before I was born He designed and calibrated plans for my purposeful living.
Known only to Him were each challenge I would encounter, each adventure I would persue and each chartered course I would take.

Nothing that I or anyone, or anything has been able to do has been able to alter God's plans for me.
Seen and unseen forces, knowingly and unknowingly, have supported me in fulfilling His plans for me.

A child of Destiny I have known sorrow and joy. There have been times when, like Job, I cried out "Oh that I knew where I might find Him!" and there have been times when I asked, "Why me, Lord?"
But whenever I've paused in soulful reflection I was compelled to say "Thank You God! You have been
so very good to me! Your plans have been right for me."

My awareness of your presence is heightened when I hear you say:
"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 4l:10

So no longer do I question God or complain about my circumstance. I am a child of the Universe, His
child, and His Fatherly love will be present for me in the future just as it has been in the past.
// And that's all I need to know. // (Fade)
