This week a song has been on my mind. It is the most beautiful, the most powerful………and the saddest song that I have ever heard.
“I Dreamed a Dream”…….performed by Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables.
The central lyric is:
“But there are dreams that cannot be…….and there are storms we cannot weather”
It is a song about disappointment……..a song about life taking a turn that wasn’t part of your dream…….your plan.
It is very easy to get angry when your plan falls apart.
But, there are two things to consider:
It was your plan that fell apart…….. perhaps God’s plan was different from your plan.
God loves you and and has a plan for your good…..his plan.
So……when the wheels come off. When the future that you had planned…….the future that you were counting on……….suddenly evaporates.
Remember those two things.
Because God will take care of you.
Because God loves you.
And all he asks………is that you return his love.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Paul. NIV
“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.”
God, NIV
