My plans for you are always for good, not for evil. I plan to give you both purpose and hope in this life. Because I died to provide the perfect sacrifice for your sins, you also can know that all of your sins, past, present, and future are forgiven. Confession of your sins to Me is not for My behalf. It is for your behalf so that you can call on My strength not to sin in that way again.
I plan for you to live a life that draws daily from My peace, My joy, My love, and My righteousness. You have to be intentional throughout the day to recognize that it is not you, but I Who works within you both to give you the will and the ability to follow the plan that I have for you.
All I require from you is a listening, obedient heart. The way to live a blessed life is to both listen carefully to the leading of My Spirit and to obey as you are led by My Spirit. Of course, you will have trials and tribulations because you live in a fallen world. Draw even closer to Me during your times of trial, and I will give you the faith to overcome whatever you face in this world.
