What difference would it make?

Sometimes I wonder…..

What difference would it make, if we started out today with the knowledge that God had prepared it for us. If every situation we faced, be it good or bad, we faced by His design. Would it give us strength and courage walking into the storm? Would we notice and recognise the blessings we receive for what they really are, true gifts form God and evidence of His love pored out for us? Would we take a greater interest in the spiritual wellbeing of the people we meet, knowing that God planned for us to be a part of their life today? Would we make the most of our time, recognising that today is no ordinary day, but one that was set before us by the same hands that created every living thing, by the same breath that set the stars alight and separated night from day, by the same loving heart that sent His Son to die on a cross, taking the sin and shame of the whole world upon his shoulders so that on this day, we could live in freedom and walk through today in relationship with Him?

Everyday of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
