I was born in a tiny place in Ivory Coast, so being a protagonist in this life is a dream.

YOU ARE MY BELOVED CHILD. I chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with Me along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with Me, instead of trying to anticipate My plans for you. If you trust that My plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile." —JEREMIAH 29:13—14

Through collaborating with Me in all things, you allow My Life to merge with yours.

what you have decided to do. It is coming to Me with an open mind and heart, inviting Me to plant My desires

I tend to feel stuck in situations I'd like to change because I can see only the present moment. But You look at the big picture—all the moments of my life—and You are doing far more than I can comprehend.

I have called each of My children to a different path, distinctly designed for that one. Do not let anyone convince you that his path is the only right way. And be careful not to extol your path as superior to another's way. What I require of you is to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Me—wherever I lead.

When you try to figure out the future, you are reaching for something that is Mine.

Instead of striving for a predictable, safe lifestyle, seek to know Me in greater depth and breadth. I want to make your life a glorious adventure, but you must stop clinging to old ways.

YOU WILL NOT FIND MY PEACE by engaging in excessive planning: attempting to control what will happen to you in the future. That is a commonly practiced form of unbelief. When your mind spins with multiple plans, Peace may sometimes seem to be within your grasp; yet it always eludes you. Just when you think you have prepared for all possibilities, something unexpected pops up and throws things into confusion. I did not design the human mind

Instead of trying to direct Me to do this and that, seek to attune yourself to what I am already doing.
