"And right as He ordained unto the best, right so He worketh continually, and leadeth it to the same end; and He is ever full-pleased with Himself and with all His works. And the beholding of this blissful accord is full sweet to the soul that seeth by grace."
[Pg 72]Julian of Norwich (Ch. 35)
We may think our life isn't going anywhere, or that we have messed up our life too badly for it to have a good outcome. But God has beautiful plans for our lives. He has ordained everything to work out to the very best end for us. And what He planned in advance He is working on right now and will surely bring about. He will give us the good, beautiful future that we hope and long for. It will be a future filled with peace, well-being, abundance, and happiness. When we see this, see the grace He has for our lives, working out the end from the beginning, working to bring good to us even if our performance isn't always good, simply giving us gifts freely by grace, bringing it all to a beautiful fulfillment, we are able to relax and rest. The future is not 'all up to us.' The future is in God's hands and He will bring wonderful things to pass for our ultimate future.
"I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for."
Jeremiah 29:11 (GNT)
A Thought: I can't wait to see the wonderful plans You have for me unfold in my future!
