THERE IS A PURPOSE
THAT INVADES ALL HIS PURPOSES
AND A WISDOM
THAT INVADES ALL HIS WISDOM'S.
-Howard Thurman
I KNOW THE THOUGHTS AND PLANS
THAT I HAVE FOR YOU,
SAY IS THE LORD,
THOUGHTS AND PLANS
FOR WARFARE AND PEACE
AND NOT FOR EVIL,
TO GIVE YOU HOPE
AND YOUR FINAL OUTCOME.
Jeremiah 29:11 AMP
FATHER GOD,
WHY AM I HERE?
I'VE ASKED MYSELF
THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES,
ONLY TO SETTLE ON THE SAME ANSWER.
I AM HERE BECAUSE OF YOU -
BECAUSE OF YOUR GREAT
LOVE FOR ME
AND THE PLANS YOU HAVE
ESTABLISH FOR ME
THAT WILL LEAD TO MY SUCCESS.
I AM HERE TO WORSHIP YOU
AND TO BRING GLORY TO YOU
BY THE LIFE THAT I LIVE.
AND I AM HERE TO SHARE
YOUR LOVE WITH ALL OF MANKIND.
BECAUSE YOU MADE ME,
I AM NOT FOREIGN TO YOU.
NOR ARE MY THOUGHTS.
SOMETIMES I'M SURE
MY THOUGHTS
DON'T LINE UP WITH YOURS,
AND MY PLANS
ALL PROBABLY MILES AWAY
FROM WHAT YOU HAVE
IN STORE FOR ME.
UNDERSTANDING THAT,
AND KNOWING THAT
THAT YOUR PLANS
ARE EXCEEDINGLY
GREATER AND WILL
TAKE ME FARTHER
THAT I CAN EVER IMAGINE,
MY PURPOSE IS TO COMMIT
MY LIFE IN MY WORK TO YOU.
YOUR WORD
HAS BECAME WISDOM TO ME,
SO I USE IT
IN MY DAILY WALK -
SUBMITTING TO IT
SO THAT I CAN KNOW
WITH ASSURANCE THAT I AM LIVING
IN A WAY THAT PLEASES YOU
AND BRINGS YOU GLORY.
IT ALSO GUARANTEES
THAT I WILL SUCCEED
AT WHAT EVER A I DO.
YOUR PROMISE IS
NEVER TO LEAVE ME ALONE.
I AM COMFORTED TODAY
IN KNOWING
YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME -
ABIDING IN ME
AS I ABIDE IN YOU.
WITH YOU ON MY SIDE
I HAVE NO REASON
TO FEAR OR BE CONCERNED.
YOU HAVE BECAME
A SHIELD AND PROTECTION,
MY PRESENT AND MY FUTURE.
AMEN.
