Enjoy the Journey!

           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It was God’s plan from the beginning of time that we “taste and see” that the Lord is good!

            Psalm 138:8 (ESV) says: “The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever.”  Many graduation ceremonies have taken place over the past few weeks and others are to come.  The graduates are pondering their future and making some very important decisions that will affect their lives.  We need to be in prayer for them to “hear” God’s leading and to have the desire to be in God’s will for their lives.

            What an awesome truth that God has a plan for every single person!  Rick Warren writes that “God’s purpose takes into account human error and even sin.”  And  “long before we were conceived by our parents, we were conceived in the mind of God.” 

            With that truth tucked into our heart, we should experience a deeper knowledge of God’s love.   You see, He didn’t NEED to create us. He WANTED to make us in order to express His love. Never feel that you were an accident….God is all powerful and it is only because He chose to create you that you are here.  Not only did He create you, He made you for a purpose.

            As the poem by Russell Kelfer says:

You are who you are for a reason,

You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod.

You are who you are, beloved,

Because there is a God.

            Let's accept His love; seek His plan…and enjoy the journey along the way.
