"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 so many things have gone wrong that it cannot have a good outcome. Tragedy, trauma, difficulty and hurt can wear us down and make us feel hopeless. But God has beautiful plans for every single one of 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, 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 hopeless or in doubt. 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!
