Grace

Jeremiah 29: 11

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

We know that God loves us and has a beautiful plan in our lives. It is also because of this great love that He gave us freewill so that we can choose and decide for ourselves. He desires that through our own choice and actions we can decide to love Him with all our heart, mind and soul.

In the same way it is because of our freewill that we decided to love one another. Thus, it is also through our freewill that we can grow in our relationships. We need to understand that the things that we choose to do and not to do has an impact in our lives and in our relationships. Let us then discover the things that we do that hurt us and the things that we do that brings out the best in us together. So that in discovering them we can start our year right!
