A Hope and a Future

“You are not alone, my child. I know the plans I have for you—plans to prosper you and not harm you—plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). I am with you when no one understands—when no one grasps the depth of your heart. I understand. I know you. Don't think about what might lie ahead or what tomorrow holds. Today is enough for you. Your faith is precious, and it cost my life. I will not sacrifice your heart. You know me. You love with my love, and follow my heart. Your life is in my hand. Your future is safe and secure in me. No weapon that forms against you will succeed. No problem will be too great or horrible for you to handle. You will rise above whatever might come because you trust me. You seek me. You learn from me. You take my Word, and it is your very life. No matter what may happen—no matter how alone you feel—you are secure in me. I am your mighty defense—your fortress—your strong tower, and I will never leave you or forsake you. Believe me and not just believe in me. I have loved you with my everlasting love, and nothing can break the faith you have in me. I have promised you. Persevere. Believe. You have a hope and a future.”
