Things God Will Never Take Back
By Cheryl Henderson
We have written many times about how much God loves you and I and that He has plans for us and that He has given everyone gifts and talents to be used in this life.
I am not sure everyone gets it. We have all heard and read Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you and they are thoughts and plans for good and not for evil, to give you hope. (That is
Cheryl's version.)
I remember the first time God gave me revelation about that scripture. It hit me that God was thinking about me!! I ran into the other room where Ed was watching TV and yelled, Ed, God is thinking about me!!!
He has given you and I gifts and talents. He has said over and over in His Word that He has called you and I. John 15:16 says that we did not choose Him, but that He chose us. In 1 Thessalonians 5:24, the scripture says that the one who calls you is faithful. Romans 8:28 says that we
are called according to his purpose. 2 Timothy 1:9 says that He has saved us and called us to a holy life.
I guess what I am trying to say is that you are called, anointed, and gifted according to God's Word and those are things He will never take back. What are you going to do with them?
