Thoughts of Peace

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”  - Jeremiah 29:11

 

I love this verse and it comes to my mind often.

 

Sometimes it truly amazes me that God has chosen to love me, and bless me and there is really little I need to do but follow by faith and lean on Him. 

 

We should never lose sight of the fact that it is the Lord’s will to bless us!

 

Are we in a position to receive HIS BLESSINGS?  Are we looking to Him to bless us?  Are we showing Him our gratitude?  Does He know that we love Him?  Have we told Him recently?

 

 

It’s always a blessing to me when people close a prayer by saying “We love you Lord”.  I don’t often think to do that, but I do see my need to say to the Lord, “I love you Lord”.  We can say it, we need to say it!  He has given us an, “expected end”, in eternity, in Heaven with Him.  Have you received Him as your personal Saviour?  Do you know for sure that your sins have been washed away?

 

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace…”
