Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
We can get sidetracked pretty easily sometimes. When this happens, we can even lose sight of the thoughts that God has toward us. Today is a little reminder of how He thinks toward us all.
The devil would love for us to think that we are not included in this verse, maybe because we have done many things wrong against God.
But, the truth is that our name is in this verse. We have all done things wrong at one time or another and God gives us a chance to fix things. God truly loves us and wants the best future for us.
Matthew 18:22 (NKJV) 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
We serve a GRACIOUS Father. It’s not too late for us to give Him first place. We have to want to. We have to reach a point in our walk where we are sick and tired of the wrong things we do and want to do what’s right. We have to hate the sin and love God and righteous living MORE than we love the sin.
Are we there yet? Are we willing to hate that which pushes us away from our loving Father?
Only we can answer that question. And only then can we take the steps to get close to Him and let Him help us have the future He wants to give us.
If we are alive and breathing then it is NOT too late. And yes, the offer still stands, no matter how far we have fallen, but we have to be willing to CHANGE.
Today is a new day and a fresh start.
