Remembering that God is for me

It's one of the hardest things to do sometimes
to feel that God is out for my good

and that He isn't out to harm me
but instead He has plans to give me a hope
and a future

Jeremiah 29:11
God declares it Himself
I don't think He was simply talking to Jeremiah when He said
"I know the plans I have for you. Plans not to harm you, but to give you a hope
and a future."

I believe that God was saying that to all of humanity

Even on days like this when i'm feeling kind of down
and honestly I know why i'm down
I threw my stock into a bad place again and it is starting to show
probably not physically or on the outside but inside i'm starting to feel it

all came about when I began to realize that I could put my stock
into the right place
When I realized that I could really treasure my stock
for the last few days . . .
I haven't treasured my stock enough to keep it out of bad places
I'm beginning to feel that in my heart

I'm reminded and encouraged by what I read in the boundaries book
and through scripture also

Scripture tells me in Philippians 1 that God isn't done fixing me yet
and in the boundaries book I'm reminded that I do have a support system
and even when I screw up once I realize that I screwed up
with help I can overcome

I'm not alone
