My Plan vs God's Plan

Have you ever planned your life so perfectly that you thought that's the best for you?
Maybe each one of us has done that before. But then, there were times when our picture perfect plans left scattered and we're just left there hopeless.

I found that many times our perfect plan isn't God's perfect plan for us. And many times when we pushed ourselves too hard to achieve our plan, we'll end up in huge frustration, because we need to remember that He's the scriptwriter of our life!

One thing is for sure, His Plan will always be the best for us. Even though it's completely different with our expectation, but His Plan is the best. I'm glad that we know the One who knows every single detail of our life's puzzle. He is our God! (-fon-)

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 29:11


Lessons of Life

It will be a pleasant thing if our life runs smoothly, where only success and good things happen in our life.
But, we need to face the reality that sadness also happens in this life. It's unavoidable. We must face the fluctuation of financial situation, we need to face the lost of our loved ones, so many unpleasant things take place in our episodes of life.

I've seen and experienced some sadness as well. We all have been through that! And I believe that's the time when we learn something valuable in our life. We learn our lesson of life which can't be taught from any school, except the school of life.

But with God as our true Teacher, we need not be afraid. The lessons of life bring us closer to our God by realizing He's the One we should rely on. We live this life for Him, this life isn't ours anymore. (-fon-)

As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
--- 1 Peter 4:2
