Opportunity is smiling ...

Jeremiah 29:11 

11 For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord.

‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you.

I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.

 

 

Future ahead or is it past ... is today yesterday made over?

Opportunity is smiling ... or is it a grimace made to please?

“All that has been will be” ... but is that the answer

or are things never alike ... in time and place and piece?

 

It is how you grasp it ... but is that with both hands?

If I am hanging on with one ... is it not half the knowing?

Is that where all things are ... only to be understood in partial?

as part of us is occupied ... in our lives prepared foregoing.

 

Destiny or luck ... and where does faith reside?

Blessings are not by accident ... falling in your lap.

Blasphemy a curse ... and prayer just a sign

of Eternal perspective ... resigned to a fact.
