God loves you and He has an
amazing plan for your life! You
may have heard this before, but
I want to ask you: Do you really
believe it?
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) says,
“’For I know the plans I have for
you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans
to prosper you and not to harm
you, plans to give you hope and
a future.’” And Ephesians 2:10
tells us, “We are God’s handi-
work, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God pre-
pared in advance for us to do.”
These verses clearly state
that God wants to bless us with
good plans, and He will prepare
us to do the good works He’s
destined us to do. So why are
so many people settling for less
than what God promises us as
His children?
The truth is your entire life
doesn’t have to be ruined be-
cause someone hurt you years
ago, or last week, or even yes-
terday. Even if you’ve done
terrible things, you can move
forward in God’s good plans for
you. Regret is useless! We need
to be truly sorry for the things
we’ve done, but we need to re-
ceive God’s love and forgive-
ness and go on.
If your life is not what God
has declared it can be in His
Word, I have good news for you
today. You can make a decision
to seek God, trust Him and His
Word more than your past ex-
periences, your present circum-

stances, your feelings, or what
anyone has said about you.
It’s so important for us to get
this…to understand that God
wants to heal the wounds in our
soul. Because when you’re not
living up to your true potential,
you’re not happy or satisfi ed.
God created us for so much
more than this!
After Jonathan died, David
wanted to honor his covenant
with him and he said in verse
1, “Is there anyone still left of
the house of Saul to whom I can
show kindness for Jonathan’s
sake?” (NIV). Ziba, a servant
of Saul’s household, told David
about Mephibosheth, saying he
was lame in both feet, living in
Lo Debar.
David summoned Mephi-
bosheth and said, “I will surely
show you kindness for the sake
of your father Jonathan. I will
restore to you all the land that
belonged to your grandfather

Saul, and you will always eat at
my table.”
Mephibosheth’s
response
was, “What is your servant, that
you should notice a dead dog
like me?” Now Mephibosheth
understood covenants, and his
attitude should have been, “Yes!
I came to get what’s mine!” But
instead, he let his imperfections
and circumstances defi ne him;
he was no better than a dead dog
in his own mind.
But because of David’s faith-
fulness to his covenant with
Jonathan, Mephibosheth lived
the rest of his life in the land of
his father and grandfather, and
he always ate at the king’s ta-
ble—even though he was lame
in both feet.
As born-again believers in
Christ, we have a covenant with
God. Jesus died to give us ev-
erything God wants us to have:
new life, righteousness, peace
and joy.
