One of my favorite Bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11 where God speaks through His prophet to give us hope for our future. I awoke this morning full of gratitude for all the blessings and possibilities in my life. All of creation is so miraculous and full of promise. God created each of us with minds and spirits to envision, create, and love.
Too often we allow ourselves to look only at our current situation and the past decisions we made that created this situation. To focus on the past robs us of the hope we can have for the future. Our future begins today, in this very moment. The past is over and today is a new beginning. Andy Andrews, in The Traveler's Gift, tells us there are 7 decisions we make everyday that will help determine the future God wants us to have. The important word here is decision, meaning we have the power to decide something. We are not victims when we ourselves have the power to decide how this future of hope will look.
Those 7 decisions deserve a lot of attention and I invite you to read Andy's book for yourself. In the meantime, remember everyday that you have the power to decide what today will look like for you.
Remember Jeremiah 29 :11 (Good News Version) I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.
We owe it to God to believe this promise. He created us to grow, achieve and share this hope for an abundant future. I am grateful for the abundance in my life and invite you to allow your life to become one of abundance also. It really is simpler than you may realize.
To Your Success,
