"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."

It's okay to not know where you are going or what you are doing, right now. It's okay to fall down once and a while. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you'll fail twice. Just because you fall once, does not mean it's over. It is never over. You have a future. Look up. Believe it's there. It IS there.

You bomb a test, don't get the job you want, lose someone or something you love, or don't know what you want to do with your life. None of these mean that it's over. You still have a future. I know, because He knows.

"For I know the plans I have for you..."

You have a future. God doesn't let people down. You won't be the start of something new in that aspect. You will have a future that is filled with wonders. Don't ever think it's over. Just because you have fallen, now, doesn't mean you'll still be down in the future.

"...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

So life isn't going how you want it to right now. That's okay, it will change. It may seem like life is stabbing you in the heart right now, but it will change. Life isn't meant to hurt you. If you believe and try hard enough, your future will be filled with happiness and hope. That's what God promises to you, right?

So here's to every college student. Every un-employed, single mother or father. Every widow or widower. Here's to every lovesick, broken, hurt human in the world. You have a future, because you have a God.
