Today’s Reflection: “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.” Luke 8:39 NKJV

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, ” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. ” Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV

Heavenly Father, I am amazed at Your knowledge of me. Before I was born, You knew me. Chosen before the foundations of the Earth, all my days were  written in Your book before You formed me in my mother’s womb. From the moment I was concevied, You only sustained my life. Always with me, You protect me from evil. You preserve my life. The times I felt alone or was to young to know You were there You never left me and I know You never will. Looking back, I now see Your handprints and footprints all over my life. I see how only You have sustained me through the rough times, all the challenges and trials I faced. You collected my tears in Your tear bottle. Your thoughts are not my thoughts or Your ways my ways. I may not understand the paths of sorrow You bring me through, but all day long, I will sing Your praises for the marvelous things You have done for me. I will trust that even now, You are working at all things for my good. You have a plan and a purpose for me. I hope in You for my future is in Your hands.  In Jesus’ Name Amen
