The Plans I Have For You

This particular scripture has been so meaningful to me. Way back in the 90's a woman in our church shared these verses with me during a time of personal turmoil. The church I was serving was no longer in need of my service there, and it was very upsetting.
Through these simple words, I was reminded—even convinced—that despite the storms around us and the disruption of status quo and 'comfort,' God has a plan that will take us closer to his will.
Jeremiah 29:11-14:
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

I hope God speaks his truth to you in this as well!
