Jeremiah 29:11-13 have kind of been family life verses for the Estes’. I love how it tell us in v. 13 that we will find Him if we are seeking Him with our whole heart. If we are seeking after the heart of God, we will truly understand the prosperity He has planned for us.

Thanks for the post!

Yet another excellent post and reminder to all of us that life is filled with the right outcomes when we actively participate in God’s plan for our lives.

It took way too long for me to figure this out, but it is clear to me now that without exception, the frustrations, disappointments and fears in my life have alway been about life not succumbing to MY plans. Not about the worthiness, value, good intentions,or soundness of my plans, but the simple fact that I was relying solely on MY perceived purpose and goals for my life.

God does not promise that His plan for my life will be free of struggle, difficult challenges, and even pain, but He does promise that His plan guarantees a life that is meaningful and brings glory to Him.

And when I find myself in diligent pursuit of fulfilling His plan, nothing compares to the warmth of His smile surrounding my every action.
