"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."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV)
No one has a perfect past, everyone can look back in their life and see some mistake or missed opportunity that they would change if they could. It is good to know that it is not so important where you start in life but it is important what you do after you start. Some people may have been born into a better situation than others, but whether or not someone succeeds in life is more about what they do with their life than the condition they were born into. No matter where you are today, or where you have come from, you can go forward to something better!
There are some people who feel as though their life has no purpose, that there is no hope. But with God there is always hope! In Jeremiah God tells us that He is thinking good thoughts about us, not evil thoughts. God is not thinking about all of the mistakes and problems we have had in the past but God is thinking about the possibilities we have for a bright future. If we would just get connected with God and the plan He has for our life we would do great things for God. God has bigger and better plans for us than we have thought for ourselves.
What we all need to do from this day forward is forget about the past and start looking ahead. Maybe you are in a bad situation; maybe you do have some difficulties. Jesus told us that in this world we would have problems but that He has overcome the world! Get connected with God through His Word and talk to God in prayer. Let Him guide you and direct you from where you are today to where you need to be tomorrow. Allow God to help you right the wrongs and trust Him to show you the bright future and hope that He has for you!
