A season of learning - Part 1

After some reflection and having finished my thoughts on the past several months, I decided it was a bit detailed and personal to publish all my thoughts in this space.  But I will still post on the main things that I wanted to share.

From the time I was retrenched I held onto the following verse in Jeremiah:

“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.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

It was not until I really gave things to God in prayer that I realised I had not followed through with the remaining verses:

“Then you will call upon me and come 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, …”  (Jeremiah 29:12-14)

A friend asked me how do you give something to God?

I think it's not just ‘trusting’ or rather expecting God to answer our prayers, it’s truly believing He knows best for us, being open to any answer He may have and handing this over to Him.  I guess God is open to us and we need to be open to Him and His calling in our lives.
