P.L.A.N.

What are my longings? Perhaps you thought our longings had nothing to do with keeping your life on track. I couldn't disagree more. Your heart is crucial. Psalm 37:4 says, "Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you what you want." When we submit to God's plans, we can trust our desires. Our assignment is found at the intersection of God's plan and our pleasures. What do you love to do? What bring you joy? What gives you a sense of satisfaction?
The longings of your heart, then, are not incidental; they are critical messages. The desires of your heart are not to be ignored; they are to be consulted, As the wind turns the weather vane, so God uses your passion to turn your life. God is too gracious to ask you to do something you hate...
God allows you to start afresh at any point in life. "From now on, then, you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God's will and not by human desires" (1 Peter 4:2TEV)
Circle the words from now on. God will give you a fresh scorecard. Regardless of what has controlled you in the past, it's never too late to get your life on course and be a part of God's P.L.A.N.-- Am I fitting into God's Plan? What are my Longings? What are my Ablities? Am I serving God Now?
