Your future will be bright!
Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)
**
"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."**
Jeremiah wrote to a group of people being held captive. They were ripped from their homes and now live in exile.
He was reminding them that although they’re not where they expected, God has not forgotten them. Today, in the midst of difficult situations, God wants us to know he has a plan and purpose. He also wants us to know that as we submit to His plan, he will use us to bless the people around us.
The key still remains during both good and difficult times!
"You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 New International Version (NIV)

God has great plan for everyone of us but if we can't trust him enough to give him the freewill to perfect such plans in our lives, such plans will never come to manifestation. So let's always give God Almighty the freewill to perfect his plans in our lives because he alone knows what is best for us. Great post!
That would be very interesting, to see the public reaction on this great project, hope everybody with an opinion will feel free to share. Thanks for sharing it, @rahela !
God was talking to Israel. You can't take that verse and apply it to Christians today. Our hope and our future is in Heaven. We're not guaranteed a hope and a future on earth. On the contrary, millions of Christians are being persecuted around the world and their earthly future may be very bleak.
I think that God wants to give everyone a hope and a future! Jesus said that He has come that we would have life and life to the full! (John 10:10) :D
Our hope and future is not in death and the resurrection that will follow. JESUS is our savior! He is our hope! He is alive right now and heaven is where he is at! Heaven is not a place but a person. "Heaven" is only paradise because GOD is there! Its GOD'S very presence that makes it heaven! In His presence there is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore! We can experience heaven right now by drawing near to God! :)
Be encouraged! God wants to give you @barncat a hope and a future! :) He has GREAT plans for your life!
