Jeremiah 29:11

Jeremiah 29:11,13 Is not just a motivation for us in our daily lives as followers of Christ,

but it is an inspiration also for those who are called to be leaders and pastors- as we help

guide and inspire others- through the Word of God and Introduce His Gospel truth-

INTO the lives of those who seek him.

The heartfelt message that Jeremiah sends to the Captives- is a message for those of us who also feel like we are held captive....

Captive to sin, to this world, to addictions of all kinds.

It is a message - Clear and True-

that NO MATTER who we are-

We can turn to God right now!

God wants to fill us with His Spirit to guide us. He desires to make us clean, washed in the power of his redeeming blood-And forgive our sins when we

are truly repentant. Creating us NEW!

Praise God! He does not leave us to our own failures but offers us a new beginning and a whole new LIFE!

Let us choose each and every day- to follow our Savior...

1Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the elders who were carried away captive--to the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon. .....

Jeremiah: 29:11-14 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace

and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me, and go and pray to Me,

and I will listen to you.13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity, I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

May The God of All Creation- Bless this reading to the people.. Amen...
