The second little poem in my series entitled "Spiritual Shorts" is called "Thinking Of You." I pray these verses can help us stand in awe at the level of care and attention our Saviour lavishes upon us. Much love, Lucy x
Spiritual Shorts- Thinking Of YouJeremiah 29:11
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Thinking of you, My dearest one, thinking of you each day.
My thoughts are of peace to prosper you, so let your fears melt away.
Before I hung the moon and stars, your name was one that I knew.
Before I proclaimed, “Let there be light,” there was I, thinking of you.
I’m thinking of you in your difficult times, when troubles seem to increase,
Thinking of you when your soul is at rest and you’re slumbering soundly in peace.
Dwelling on how I will strengthen your soul through days when you feel you can’t cope,
Shaping with wisdom all I have planned to give you a future and hope.
These thoughts are too high for you to discern, too deep for your heart to conceive,
But know they are good, so trust in My plan; I’m the One in whom you believe.
You’re safe in My love, so wait upon Me; it’s the wisest thing you can do.
Rest in the knowledge that I’m on your side, and I’m always thinking of you.
Psalm 139:17-18
“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.”
Questions For Personal Reflection
How does it make me feel to consider that my Maker, the One who formed me, fashioned me and chose me, is always thinking good thoughts towards me?
When I consider God’s thoughts towards me are of peace and are to give me a future and a hope, does this reassure me when life feels tough?
Am I resting in God’s perfect love today?
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You so much for Your perfect love in my life. In love, You formed me, chose me, died for me, and rose again for me. In love, you think of me each and every day. Thank You that I can rest knowing that every thought You think towards me is based on Your love for me and shaped by Your wisdom. Even when life is tough, Your love is a constant protection around me. Even when other loves fail, Yours never does. Thank you for your unconditional, unwavering, and unending love that guards and guides my life. I praise Your name today, Jesus. Amen.
