What is GOD'S plan for you?

The following article is adapted from Chapter Four of Pat's new book, How to Survive the Economic Meltdown. Over the last year, Mark has watched his small business teeter on the brink. Sometimes when he can't sleep, he repeats the words of Jesus over and over, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Eventually, he dozes off. Mark said, “Sure, it's tough. But I've grown more spiritually in the last year than in the previous ten years combined. Yes, it's scary, but it's also exciting. Because I know that only God can make this right.” How God Sees You Let me summarize what the Bible has to say about you. He knit you together in your mother's womb. He knows when you sit or stand. He knows every word before it forms on the tip of your tongue. He determined the exact times and places where you would live. When Jesus looks at you He is filled with compassion, because you are harassed and helpless, like a sheep without a shepherd. God our Savior wants all men—including you—to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. He takes no delight in the death of the wicked. You are His “special possession.” You are the full expression of God's creative genius. God was at His very best when He made you. His love is staggering.
