The Lord's Declaration

Hey Y'all!! So this morning as I was doing some devotionals I felt really called to look at Jeremiah 29, so I did. I know that Jeremiah 29:11 is an amazing verse (just as all the verses in the Bible are) so I decided to start there, and let me just tell you, it has really impacted me.
 So I read Jeremiah 29:11-13 and it goes like this: "For I know the plans I have for you"-This is the Lord's declaration- "plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search  for Me with all your heart." Wow. That's some amazing stuff isn't it? I can't even begin to tell you just how many times I read over that just to make sure that I was reading things straight. I got chills when I read this, that's just how much these verses impacted me!
 What really got to me was where it said "This is the Lord's declaration." I mean, God declared this to us all! (I got chills just typing this right now.) God declared that we will seek Him, and find Him when we search for Him with all our hearts, and this is my point: Are you searching for God with all your heart? I mean this very seriously. Are you truly seeking the Lord with everything you have?
 I'll confess to you right now that I haven't been. I know that I haven't been truly seeking the Lord, and I'm changing that. I have made the decision to change my ways, and to earnestly seek the Lord. You know what's so bad though? It's that I didn't even know that I'd not been until now. That's why I'm asking you this.

 I can not even begin to tell you just how much I want you to have an amazing relationship with Christ, but I can't make that decision for you. You, and only you, can make that decision to turn to Christ and give Him the Glory that he deserves. Only you, can give God everything that you have, and search for Him with all your heart.
 My prayer today, is that you will search for God, and that you will know Him, and see His love for you. That you will see His plans for your welfare, and not disaster, and to give you a future and a hope.

I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of Him. I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, and what is immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe according to the working of His vast strength.
