Quiet Time: Love - Story

As we gather in this sacred space, let’s take a moment to embrace the profound truth found in Jeremiah 29:11, where God promises, “For I know the plans I have for you.” Imagine for a moment a young artist, her canvas blank and intimidating, the brushes before her still untouched. She knows she has something beautiful within her, yet the fear of imperfection looms large.

One day, as she breathes deeply, she recalls a lesson from her mentor: “Begin with love. Let your heart guide your hand.” With each stroke, she pours herself into her work, trusting the process. As colors blend and shapes emerge, she finds not just a picture taking form but a reflection of her journey, filled with hope and purpose.

This is how God’s love works in our lives. When we meditate on His promises, like that artist, we begin to see the beauty of His grace transforming us. He doesn’t just have a plan; He lovingly weaves us into His grand narrative. In our moments of quiet, we discover that His love is not just a warm feeling; it’s a powerful force that guides us, shapes us, and ultimately reveals our purpose.

So, as we engage in our quiet time, let’s open our hearts to His love—allowing it to paint our fears with joy, our confusion with clarity, and our doubts with unwavering hope. Let this be a time where we surrender to the Artist, trusting that His plans for us are indeed filled with a love that transforms.
