God put dreams in your heart to carry out...

God put dreams in your heart to carry out His cause through you-good plans to prosper you & give you a hope & future! Don't ever think you're a mistake or afterthought- you were chosen before the foundation of this world came to be. Don't be discouraged when you're rejected by others or passed over. If you're following God with all your heart, you're on course. He hasn't forgotten you-He's always with you...in the darkest night, biggest fire & deepest waters. You matter, you count, you're valued & purposed by God to carry out the call He's put in your heart-His grace will give you what you need! Even if test scores report moderate to low range, aptitude assessments reflect poor results & clinical prognosis is poor…God's still got a good plan for you. You may be experiencing a season of rejection, but that doesn't make you a reject. Put your hope in God's power-He reigns over all you see & don't see. His Word is final-there's nothing too big or too inconsequential for Him to consider. God's love is bigger than anything you're facing, He makes something from nothing, can part a sea, roll back a river, drop food out of the sky, make a donkey talk, rescue people from a fiery furnace without them being burned, put His seed into an unmarried virgin's womb to bring Jesus into the world, feed 15,000 from one kid's meal, turn water in wine & raise the dead-you can be confident... God's got your plans worked out! Stay on course, keep your eyes on Jesus & don't let others get you down. Just breathe, focus on God's truth, take a step then do it again & again. God keeps His promises & they will come to pass-even when there seems to be no indicator that things are going to break through or open up. Things will change-if you wait on & hope in Him...He will renew your strength & hold on for you. So, what will you do?
