God's Thoughts for You

What does God think about you? His thoughts include all things, and that includes you. God's thoughts about you include your past, present, and future. Those thoughts include all the details of your life. His knowledge of you is comprehensive. God is omniscient, knowing all things about you.

What does God think about your future as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ? His purpose for you is to be conformed to the likeness of Christ. In this life, God is thinking about your service and ministry. He is working in your life according to His thoughts, to fulfill your destiny in life, as well as your eternal destiny.

"For I know the thoughts that I have for you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).

As a believer in Jesus Christ, God's thoughts for you include, love, grace, goodness, peace, hope and a future. Those thoughts are recorded in the Bible for you and all believers to read. As you read the Bible, God gladly shares His thoughts with you. He wants you to think His thoughts with Him as you read your Bible. "O LORD, the earth is full of your unfailing love; teach me your principles" (Psalm 119:64, NLT).
