Uncertainty of the Future

I am nervous to discover what God's plan for my life is. I am scared of the uncertainty of the future....
But I also know that He holds my future in His hands. God is in control. I just need to let go.  

"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. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13 

Our Insides

It’s easy for me to get overwhelmed by my flaws…

I’m not pretty ENOUGH…

I’m not smart ENOUGH…

I’m just not enough…But then I remember God’s unfailing GRACE (well...I should anyway). The truth is I’ll never be enough, no matter how hard I try or what I do.

I’m a very insecure person. I wish I wasn’t. Even though I KNOW God has a special plan for me and he created me in His OWN image, I’m still insecure. I still don’t feel like I’m good enough even though I know God loves me for who I am and He thinks…(correction: knows) I’m beautiful. And I AM beautiful according to His standards, but it is impossible to match up to the worlds.

I am constantly worrying about how I look or what people are thinking of me. But honestly it is what is on the inside that counts.

When we die, God is going to judge us. He is going to judge what is on the inside, not what we look like. Yes, God loves us all so incredibly much (it is amazing how much), but He WILL judge us when that day comes.

Think for a moment about how much time you spend each day towards your outward appearance. Now, think about how much time you spend on your inward. If you are like me, you spend more time on your outward appearance.

Are your "insides" ready for judgment day?  

my 'happy' song:)
