don't want to be here

Today I have heard more that one person say, “I just don’t want to be here.” I feel like that more often that I would like to admit. But not just about work. Do you ever feel like you are in a place in life that you just don’t want to be in? Sometimes, God takes us to places that are not easy…places that we don’t want to be in. A verse that came to mind when I heard that person talking this morning was Jeremiah 29:11. I love the way the Message reads.

I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed."


Today if you are in a place you really don’t want to be in…cling to the hope of Christ. His plan is perfect. Rest in that this wonderful Friday!
