I read this excerpt from a book I have..."Your best life-begins each morning" by Joel Osteen....I teared up because I totally feel like this is so true!
Here is what it said....
This morning, you may be frustrated because you feel God's plan isn't working in your life. But never fear; God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life. Though you may not feel it or see it, He has been working in your favor long before you encountered the problem.
Don't grow impatient and try to force doors to open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Your situation may look just as it did for the past ten years, but then one day, in a split second of time, God will bring it all together. When it is God's timing, all the forces of darkness cant stop Him. When it's your due season, God will bring it to pass.
I am constantly feeling like nothing is changing and wonder what God's plan is for me. But I am being patient for God's plan. I know good things will come my way and when they do , I know they will be great because it will be what God wants. I try to keep positive. Even when bad luck is being thrown at me and i feel like nothing is going right , I think to myself...God still gives me what i need. I have a job... a roof over my head...clothes on my body...a wonderful loving family and friends....I have everything I NEED. He gives me new strength everyday to stay positive and I know he leads me to paths that are right. He is laying out that obstacle course . So I know its not going to be easy. I know those obstacles are building strength throughout the way until i get to that finish line where it all comes together.
A friend messaged me the sweetest thing today knowing i was down and emotional . It said.....
"You are a strong, beautiful woman with the ability to bend the earth to your whim. Dont forget the sun always rises just for you. Every day is a new day. Let the pain subside and let your faith give you strength and courage to conquer anything you set your mind to. I believe in you."
God puts certain people in your life . Sometimes you may not know why and sometimes you may think you do and sometimes you just know. But either way there is a reason. Only God knows that real reason. And he is doing it only for the good of you.
"We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. They are the people he called , because that was his plan." ~Romans 8:28
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." ~Jeremiah 29:11
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." ~Ephesians 2:10
