Destiny

"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


This quote is my most beloved quote form the Bible. It really makes me think about my life. Every bad thing that has happened. Every good thing that's stepped into my life. Every tear that I've cried. Every laugh that I've laughed. All of it is leading up to something great for me. Sometimes I feel lost and confused. I wonder "Why am I here? What does God want from me?" Every time I think that, this verse pops into my head. It makes me feel wanted, needed, loved, cared for, etc. I know I get all of those things from friends and family, but sometimes the only love that seems to count to me is God's love and knowing that he's out there planning something huge for every one of us. Something that will make the world better. Maybe he's got one of us curing cancer in the future. Not in the "I Am Legend" sort of way, but an actual cure! Maybe one of us out there is going to make the flying car. Maybe one of us is going to find the planet with the Avatars on it (preferably while I'm still alive so I can be one). No matter what it is we are going to do as an individual, God has it all planned out for us.


Have you ever wondered about the whole Science vs. Religion stuff? How scientists say the world was made my the Big Bang and Christians say that it was made by God? Well, maybe scientists are right. Maybe there was a Big Bang. Maybe it was dust particles and rock and whatever that came together and exploded or something like that. But get this, who made those particles? Who started it all? Who made the elements come together? They didn't have to. Could this not be God's plan? Every single thing that happens in this universe has a reason. Everything has a purpose. Everyone is meant to do something. Every single soul on this Earth has a reason to live. God knew before we were even concieved what his plans were for me, you, and everyone else. Because is It. The Man. The capitalized "He" everywhere you go. His name is on our coins, in our pledge, even in our schools (even though he's not supposed to be :)), and just everywhere.

Now I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just saying from my side of the line, this is what I see. This is what I believe. This is what I know. It was my revelation a long time ago, and it was just the beginning of the rest of them.
