Hear God loud and clear today as he says, “I won’t force you.”

God will not force you into the good plans he has for your life. He won’t force you to step into the overflowing abundance he has aligned for you. He won’t force you to accept divine opportunities for a greater purpose than you could possibly imagine. Honey, he won’t force you. You don’t have to … but God sure hopes you will trust him enough to say yes.

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 feel like I’ve read it so many times it’s become unimpressive. When did we stop being blown away by the fact that the creator of the universe has plans to prosper us and give us a good future? When did that stop being enough to calm your worried mind and troubled soul? When did that stop being the spark to your confidence? When did that stop applying to you personally?

GOD HAS GOOD PLANS FOR YOU. HE IS PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN THE DETAILS OF YOUR LIFE. ONCE AGAIN, HE IS GIVING YOU AN INVITATION TO STEP INTO THE FULLNESS OF HIS GOOD PLANS AND RECEIVE A FUTURE YOU COULD NEVER IMAGINE ON YOUR OWN.

First, will you believe it?

Will you somehow choose to believe that even a girl with your past, even a girl with your failures, even your bad choices, even a girl with your track record of strong starts and disappointing finishes, God hasn’t cancelled a single one of his good plans for your life. Oh, he’s had to get creative and rework the path there because you’ve been expert level at taking your detours and delaying your progress, but God still says, “with me, it’s possible.”

But he not only says it’s still possible, he also says, “I still want it for you, my girl. I still want you to live in the fullness of your life’s potential. I still want you to dream with me and watch me equip you to make it happen. I still want you to discover all the things I’ve put within you. I still want to completely blow you away with more than you’ve dared to dream before.”

Do you believe that? Can you believe that?

Oh, not because you deserve it. Trust me, you don’t. I don’t.

Thank God, we don’t get what we deserve. We’re not girls who get what we deserve. We could never deserve Jesus’ sacrifice on that cross. We could never deserve a mansion in paradise. I don’t care how hard you’ve worked, or how good you’ve been, you don’t deserve it. Yet, that’s what you’ve been offered.

You don’t deserve the offerings of God, but you darn sure can be the grateful recipient of them!

Stop dismissing yourself. No, you don’t deserve it, but it’s being offered any way. Will you receive it? Will you dare to believe God has deemed you worthy of good things? You can never be truly grateful if you don’t accept the fact that God declares you worthy.

Can you say this with me: “I don’t deserve it, but I’ve been deemed worthy.”

I want you to close your eyes for a moment and envision this with me. Envision you’re sitting across from Jesus at a table. Imagine Jesus lovingly telling you of the dreams God has for you. Imagine him telling you about the overflowing abundance God has aligned for your future. Imagine him telling you about the opportunities, the blessings, and the breakthroughs God has written your name on.

There’s so much. No, more than that. Even more. Bigger.

And Jesus says, “I want this for you too. I want it all for you. I want it for you so bad, that I gave everything so you could have it all. I’ve made it possible. I’ve cleared the paths. I’ve sealed the deal. Now, all you have to do is believe it, accept it, and go for it.”

Let that resonate for a moment. This is an invitation. An invitation to good plans. An invitation to a future with overflowing hope.

Now, I want you to see yourself pushing the offering back across the table and saying, “No thanks. I can’t accept this. I don’t want to change. I don’t want to give up my old patterns of worry and control. I don’t want to partner with you. I don’t want to because I can’t believe I ever really could. Jesus, tell God I don’t want all he has for me.”

And God says, “I won’t force you.”

No, he won’t force you, but oh how he hopes you will finally decide that while you don’t deserve it, you’ve been made worthy of it through Jesus. Don’t waste what Jesus has done for you. He not only saved you from an eternity of separation from God, be also saved you from a life of living little here.

Jesus said in John 10:10, “I have come that you may have life and have it to the full.” Dig deeper and look at other translations of this scripture. This is for you and it’s for you today.

Jesus says:
“My purpose is to give you a rich and satisfying life.”
“I came that you may have life, and may have it abundantly.”
“I came so you can have real and eternal life, more and better life than you ever dreamed of.”
“I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!”

Are you going to push that offer back across the table once again and say no thank you? Are you going to dismiss yourself once again because you just can’t believe you could ever be good enough to live that life? Are you going to diminish the dreams God has for you because you don’t understand them?

God isn’t asking you to understand them. He’s not even asking you to see them fully. He’s simply asking you to trust him enough to receive what Jesus has done for you, and accept his offer of goodness for your life and your future.

May your answer be YES! God, yes, I want all you have for me!

Jesus, thank you for your sacrifice to give me a rich, satisfying, abundant, overflowing life that is better than I have ever dreamed of. It’s better than I have ever seen before or even dared to imagine. Please forgive me for my delays. Forgive me for my unbelief. Forgive me for the years I have wasted. I won’t be wasting this one. I’m ready. I’m ready to say yes.

I won’t leave this on the table again. I won’t dismiss myself again. I won’t hush the whispers in my soul again. I will lean in. I will trust. I will resurrender. I will obey. I will show up. I will engage. I will work. I will listen. I will rise up. I will believe the truth.

Through you, God, I will thrive. I will shine. I will be that light. The soul of your beloved girl will awaken. She will believe she is worthy. She will receive her peace. She will be filled with desires once again. She will live in elation. She is me. I’m that girl. It’s time. I embrace your offering. I accept. I say, yes to the offer on the table.
