Many times our afflictions are a result of our own choice, not Gods or choices of our previous generations that we have inherited through environment. I see God's plan as; whatever choice we make in life such as profession, career or job, that the primary goal is to reveal the nature and attitude of God. In that sense we are all chosen as ministers, to always reveal God in every undertaking, to honor God I do believe God has a plan for every life, but He does not violate His own principle of free choice.

If I make the wrong choices, then does that mess up God's plan? I sure hope (and believe) not. I WILL make wrong choices and if Gods plan is contingent on me always doing the right thing, then great, my plan is out the window...no no no. God already knows where I messed up, where I am going to mess up and I believe that all of that is already accounted for. Can I move to the jungle and never talk to another human again? Yes, will he use this? Yes. I dont know how, but I believe that ALL things work for good for those that are called to his purpose. Look to Jonah, he tried to run from Gods plan and do his own thing...what happened? God brought him to where he needed to be. Did Jonah make it easy? no. Did he go through suffering because he chose the wrong path at first? Yes. God is not served by human hands, he does not need us to always make the right choices so that his will is done. Im very grateful for this post and the posters on here. We as christians are too passive about our beliefs. There are truths. Search them. The standard is always always what his word says, not what posters say. Like reading raindow, dont take my word for it! :) If there is no plan, then it is up to me to make all the right choices.

People who have everything or close to it, love to praise God and walk around bragging how they're so "blessed" by God. What does that message say to the rest of us who struggle on a daily basis, pray on a daily basis (and get no answers or direction), continue to struggle and suffer while watching the "blessed" acquire blessing after blessing? By Jeremy's account, that would only mean the rest of us aren't loved by God. We don't mean anything to Him, despite our loyalty and prayers. And what about people in third world countries? What about people who are born crippled or essentially unable to function? How can that be the individual plan of a loving God? If I were to subscribe to the belief that God has a specific plan for me and my life and this life is one that is extremely painful and hard to get through day by day, I could only conclude that God doesn't care about me. I can't afford to think that way. I'm depressed enough. Jeremy, I don't begrudge anyone anything and I hope your life continues to remain on a positive path, but as BP said (in not so many words), lose the major things in life that mean the most to you and then come back and say that's God's loving, devine plan for your life.

And please don't tell me it's the influence of the "devil" or the "enemy" because if I can't count on a God to protect me from the devil, what the heck can I count on him for???

If he doesnt, we drift aimlessly in life, going in circles, life has no meaning..

I used to be so scared i wasnt following Gods plan, and that demons were attacking me because of it. Inside I just wanted to play video games and be myself, but I was scared I was going to hell because I wasnt following Gods Plan. This just brought tears to my eyes, and relief to my heart. Jesus saved me from all of that, so I can be free to draw with any color I want. Even if I spend to much time away God doesnt care because he lives in eternity, and Jesus loves me.
