Jeremiah 29:11

Jeremiah 29:11

I know your plans for me are never meant to hurt me

If I only listen, I will save myself the trouble of paying for my bad decisions

Like Adam and Eve, I want forbidden fruit 

Because yes of course, it does look good 

But for future reference, I write this now...

Remind me to not fear confrontation, 

To get mad when my peace is fought with, 

To fight back when my integrity is questionable,

To keep the sanctity of my character,

And to LISTEN... Lord may I listen to you. 

Last of all,

Forgive my discrepancies.

Like a fool I’ve made promises from letting my feelings cause me to speak too soon...

My words have made me sin...

Like Paul of Romans 7, i sit here and quote-

"4So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. 17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin."

I remember singing 

“There is power in the name of Jesus to break every cycle...”

How then, did I end up here?...

Fighting again...

This process is longer than I thought...

Patience... patience... patience... 

Lord! Lord! I cry out! Lord! Lord! 

Let me do your will so that you may know me...

Jeremiah 29:11 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.

I will wait... I promise myself... I will wait. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think concerning you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you the end that you wait for. 

For I know the plans I have for you"--this is the LORD's declaration--"plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Until next time, à tout à l'heure.💋
