Poem - Your Plan

Your Plan

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.  - Jeremiah 29:11

Precious Lord; Father of all things I see

All things I hear

All things I smell

Almighty creator of everything.

 You knew me before I was.

You knew my mind

You knew my heart

My thoughts and dreams

My hopes and fears

You knew my tomorrows when they were my yesterdays

My life is in Your hands.

 Where I am confused

You are enlightened

Where I am weary

You are strong

Where I am meek

You are mighty.

You counted out the hairs upon my head

You chose the colour of my eyes

You decided upon my smile;

My laugh;

My cry.

 I am Your precious child and You know everything about me

You know things I don’t even know myself

You gave me life and showered me with Your abundant love

You created everything so that we, Your children,

Your precious sons and daughters may be pleased

And blessed by Your awesome power.

 You alone know what lies ahead in my life

And You have planned meticulously

Every last detail.

There are no chances

No coincidences.

You want me to succeed;

You have laid out the provisions and guided me along

With Your gentle hand and loving words.

You have protected me from the turbulent winds of life

You have been my shelter; my refuge.

You have made me as I am for a reason

A reason I am not yet equipped to know.

You will make it clear when the time is right

Because Your timing is perfect

You are never a second late

Or a minute early

You are perfection.

Until that glorious day of realisation,

I cleave myself to Your will

And I will follow Your plan with a song of praise in my heart!
