In my life, I have lived and I have learned, and what I have learned the most from living is found in the belief that what matters most is God's love and the love He has for us all the days of our lives: for everything else is not that important; for everything else is temporary and will pass away.
For you see, my friends, "God is love." (1st John 4: 8) And because God is eternal, His love is also eternal; neither will there be a time when God does not love us.
Therefore, contrary to both public and private opinion, God is not out to get us, He is not out to beat us over the heads, nor to punish us or send us to the pit. But God is out to love us all the days of our lives and even beyond the grave.
As it is written,
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (1st Corinthians 2: 9)
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10: 17)
Once people place their faith in Christ, and trust in Him to forgive their sin, then and only then will they begin to see the wonderful world of God.
As Jesus said,
"Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3: 3)
And again,
"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
(John 3: 5)
So then, knowing Christ is only the beginning of a journey into the mind and knowledge of God, which we can receive by believing and reading the Bible, which is the word of the Lord, which enables us to be part of the wonderful world of God: both now, and tomorrow, and forevermore.
What, then, is God's plan for you and your life? That is between you and God; therefore, ask God and He will answer you.
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1: 8)
Or, as Jesus said,
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." (Matthew 6: 6)
For you see, my friends, "God is love." (1st John 4: 8) And because God is eternal, His love is also eternal; neither will there be a time when God does not love us.
