Jeremiah 29:11… “For I know the plans I have for you” - this is the Lord’s declaration - “plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
HE knows the plan, even though we do not always know. Yet there is so much more to this passage. This was Jeremiah’s letter to the exiles. Jeremiah goes on to say the Lord will be found by you, but before the Lord is found you must call to Him and seek him.
The Lord had a plan for the exiles, and has a plan for you. Are you searching for something in your life? Call on Him. Are you trying to find your career path? Call on Him. God is never too busy for your problems. No issue is too trivial for God. No issue is too massive for God.
We have free will for a reason, God allows his children to make mistakes and allows the devil to tempt us to make us seek Him again. God is our father. Imagine a little girl reaching up to her dad, arms open wide, crying because she just scraped her knee. Will her father turn her away and say it was her fault? No. He will pick her up, tell her everything is okay, and take care of her. This is exactly what God does for us.
You can run from God for years, but the second you turn back… He is right there waiting for you, arms open wide, saying “welcome back, my child”.
I have been trying to do everything on my own. I have been trying to figure everything out solo, but God used the people in my life to show me this. God can do the same thing for you. It is not too late. You have not gone too far. God is waiting on you, so will you turn around?
