Accepting God's plan

Posted by Mar Gregorios Orthodox Church, Marangadu in

              Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans i have for You, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
                  The Bible teaches us that God has plans for each one of us. But is it easy to live as per God's plan? Many of us often do things trusting God with the beginning but we want to maneuver the end of the plan according to what seem best to us. The end result is that we do not get things as we had wished for or worked hard for... but find events happening that we never desired for... or our plans do not match God's plan.
                        My dear friends, God is looking for complete surrender through our lives. When we surrender our lives to the plans of God, it changes our whole perspective on how we see blessings. Then it is not about where I was in life but instead about where God wants me to be. Jesus has showed us this way in his own life...... Even, when Jesus was hanging on the cross, with the three nails holding Him up, calling out, " My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" He was still in the centre of the will of God.
                    A right approach to find happiness and peace in our life would be to accept and live as per God's plan.
