Forgiveness...

"... is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hate. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness." - Corrie ten Boom

God is smarter than I am...

"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..."

[Jeremiah 29:11] NIV


For God knows the plans He has for me. I don't know them. He does. Sometimes He tells me in advance and sometimes He doesn't - because it isn't the right time yet; because I'm not ready; or simply because it's just not for me to know. But He knows the plans He has for me. And He wants me to trust him. He knows the world better than I do and He knows me better than I know myself.


Though I may need to suffer,
though I may need to sacrifice,
though I may need to sit still,
I can always trust in him
& I can have hope and a future
because God's plans for me are to prosper me and not to harm me.
Ultimately and always.
