I've mentioned that I've been under the weather; allergies and a bad cold are making it hard to focus and I know I'm not at my best.  For example, I lost the entire blog post I have been working on all morning.  

My point was that days like today are good times to share bits of Scripture I've found helpful or inspiring in the hope that others may find them helpful as well.

Here is one of my favorite verses, Jeremiah 29:11.  

"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."

I love this verse because I was taught a different vision of God, one that was far less loving and caring.   God loves us, and this verse expresses God's loving intention to us all.  What a comforting verse it has been to me!  I hope reading it confirms your confidence in God and brings you peace.
