The plan for your life

The truth is that God has a plan and a purpose that is unique to each one of us. God our creator doesn't want us all to be the same. He calls each one of us daily "out of darkness into his wonderful light." He wants us to be the best version of ourself that we can possibly manage. It might be very hard to believe that today. But take it on your heart.

On my Facebook profile is one of my favourite quotes from St Catherine of Siena."Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." 

No matter whether your situation is desperate or wonderful. God wants to be able to speak into your life and guide you. No matter what you have done God has a rescuing plan for you to pluck you out of disaster or even from mediocrity.

The first step is to have the strength, or perhaps help from someone, to believe that God is your redeemer.
The next three steps are crucial

• Listen to your life
• Listen to what God has to say about your life
• Take action to change

In the next three weeks I will write more on each of those above subjects.

Meanwhile for reflection I will briefly share what is going on with me. God can be quite insistent to speak sometimes. This week he gave me a very vivid dream about a fire,and in the dream the reading I was given was Jeremiah 4. It wasn't a passage that I was familiar with so I went and looked it up. Here is an excerpt from it.

Circumcise yourselves to the Lord , circumcise your hearts, you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire because of the evil you have done— burn with no one to quench it. Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbour wicked thoughts? Jeremiah 4:4

Just to share with you I feel God is saying to me "put sin under lock" and then you will be able to move into the next phase in your life. That quote is from Daniel 10:21.God says "I have come to teach it to you because God loves you. Pay attention to this word and understand the vision"

I know from past experience if I listen to him - he will change my life

Dear Lord, I sense you want to move us into a new awareness of your love for us all. Help me to hear you and respond and not block you.
