Never lost, always found: Happy New Year 2009!

I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.

Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.

You will seek me, and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart.

Yes, I say, you will find me, and I will restore you to your land. I will gather you from every country and from every place to which I have scattered you, and I will bring you back to the land from which I had sent you away into exile.

I, the LORD, have spoken.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Good News Bible)

The next time we worry about passing an exam or how a relative will get well from an illness or when we will find a job that will make ends meet, let's remember that God loves us so much He has even given His own Son to save us. So there is no good thing that He will withhold from us. Everything will happen according to His perfect plan and timing. His generosity and faithfulness can NEVER be matched by anything or anyone.

Let's all have a blessed, grace-filled, Jesus-centered year!
