Thought of the Day !!

"For I know the plans I have for you", says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." – Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)

God has plans for His people during Jeremiah's day.  This is part of a letter being sent to those in exile in Babylon.  They will be there for 70 years as punishment for abandoning Him, but will be brought back and given yet another chance.  That is the hope for the Israelites, the hope of another chance.

We have this same hope.  When we mess up our lives in small, or even big ways, we have hope of another chance and of a future with God.  So if you've got anything in your life that is getting between you and God, turn from it and come back to Him.  For our God is a God of hope and of second chances.  

In the love of Christ,
