Withholding Nothing

When I tell you that my heart raged against the Lord it raged against the Lord when it came to this particular season of my life. Whether I made these decisions for myself or if this were another one of those assignments God had me on. Either way they both were tormenting and long suffering. I thought God had finally answered my prayers. I was living right. I was doing everything that He said for me to do to the best of my ability. He said He would give me my hearts desire. Just wait on the Lord they say! I thought I was being rewarded for not becoming weary during my well doing. Then with a blink of an eye He snatched it all back. Where did I go wrong? I felt as though all my good living had gone in vain. I had not been living this way my whole life not even half my life but I had to start some place. Why is it that we blame God when the plans that we have for our own lives dont work out? Have you ever considered Gods plans for your life are even better than the ones you could ever imagine for yourself? Thats why Hes the Father because He knows whats best for his children. He is Alpha and Omega. He knows your beginning and your end. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you declares the Lord and will bring you back.... to the place from which I carried you into exile. Jeremiah 29:11-14. Does that sound like a God that wants to keep something from you? If anything He wants to get everything that He has for you to you. But like any good parent He doesnt give you anything youre not ready for. My prayer to you is that before you make any major decisions for yourself; align them with the plans of the Lord. Allow your heart to be open to hear His voice and what He has to say concerning your life. Make sure youre not asking God for things and people that are not in His will for you to have. Or you will always feel as though Hes never hearing or answering any of your prayers.
