Thankful Thursday ~ God’s Plan

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
(2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV)

I often wonder about God’s plan for my life. I love the verse written by Paul from 2 Corinthians 12:9. It reminds that I when I am weak, I can rest on the power of Christ. I have talked about dreams in my most resent post at Laced with Grace. So many times in my life I have run in front of God; I thought that He approved of what I am doing.

Not until late last year, I realized that I had to give over control of my dreams. I have never truly surrendered my dream to God, because I thought I could make my dream come true on my own. God’s plan and timing is always perfect. I have to trust that He knows best.

So, this week I am thankful that I finally realized that God can help my dream to become reality. But I have to let go and all will fall into place. Don’t get me wrong, I still have to take some steps toward that dream, but I have to let go of the control. I am not sure if that makes sense…I hope it does.

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by this week. Remember: sometimes we need to let go of control and let God lead us; not the other way around.

Love & peace,
Iris
