plans

Jeremiah 29:11 mentions, "plans that God has for us." This is kinda the token verse that someone gives when life gets out of control, or maybe even a theme verse for a person who is content with God's omnipotence. I find the father is totally, unbelievably, wonderfully good, when it comes to his mercy in planning for my life. I look at some of the places I've been in my life and think I can not begin to even realize how he could love me. His grace is overwhelming, his mercies are infinite, they never stop! I keep thinking, "God, why do I deserve the place you have given me, my set of unique and wonderful circumstances. I am in awe that you had these plans for me." I can't believe God has been so good to me, when I've been so unfaithful to him. In fact that gulf, the difference in between how good God is, and how undeserving I am, just keeps getting bigger everyday. And God whispers in my ear, "I'm not even through with you yet!" And I'll worship him for the difference, for the gulf. Because he is increasingly deserving of so much more than I can give, and I am increasingly undeserving of the grace that he didn't have to give.
