Future

“Will you choose to believe that what God has planned for you today is better than what you have planned for yourself?”

Will I?

This is a question of dream life vs reality. All the while wanting to save up as much as I can so that I get to see the world, I’ve never realized how selfish my dream can be. It was all about me. I want to go, I want to see, I want to try, I want to experience, I want to learn. I wouldn’t say that for all kinds of traveling, but at least for mine. All I had in mind was to buy richness from traveling, yet I have not thought about the poor, physically and spiritually.

When I was being prayed for, the interceder mentioned the potential of influence lying dormant in me, yet in adversities I will still be a flower on parched lands and be a blessing to others. Will this even be possible if I were to hold on fast to my dreams instead of thinking of ways to bless others’ heart with the resources that I have?

There are so many things to think of:

What if, all these while, God has just been a passenger or a spare tyre in my life?

What if, I do not have anybody to detect the blind-spots in my life?

What if this people ministry that I am involved in doesn’t revolve around God?

A part of me shatters when I think of how many people don’t even know the purpose of living, or what they should be pursuing in life. You only live (or die) once, putting aside the fact that we’ll have eternal life, but a life without Christ is a pointless pursuit, for the very reason we exist is to give glory to God.

 “For I know the plans for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Initially driven by peer pressure, I did not regret going for the Future Conference a wee bit. Despite being so busy in life, I'm glad that of so many people, God chose to speak to me.

"Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us."
