"For I know the plans I
have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to
harm you…" Jeremiah 29:11
God knows the plans He has for us. Before He formed us in our
mother’s womb He knew these plans (Jeremiah 1:5), and then He crafted our
inmost being, delicately knit us together (Psalms 139:13) and designed us to
live life in abundance through Him (John 10:10).
Life
abundant is spiritual wealth that overflows into our behavior and it is
rooted in a correct understanding of how God views us. Once we understand how
God views us as individuals, we learn how to rightfully treat others. If God’s
plans for us are to prosper us and not to harm us, then we can be certain that
His plan for us is to prosper others and not to harm them, or leave them in
harmful situations if we find them there. We know this is how we should live
because this is how God has demonstrated His love for us. So this is why we
exist, to help others prosper, to not harm them, to point them towards abundant
life where there is hope and future, because this is how we were all designed
to function.
