   [Admin Note: When the Lord highligthed earlier words last week, He 
		highlighted several of them. At first I wasn't sure to 
		do with the 14 ones I did not use last week, but after
		praying about it, I feel that I am supposed to share them
		one a day for the next 14 days, and then go back to our
		regular distribution of new words on the 15th day. So
		for the next 14 consecutive days, you will be getting a
		word a day that was origially distributed some number of
		years ago, but that the Lord wants to bring around again.]

                   My Plans For You Are Good

Child of Mine, My plans for you are good. They are plans for a hope
and a future. They are plans to bring you joy and contentment. 

I have loved you with an everlasting love and it is out of that love
that I have destined good things for you. I will never leave you 
nor forsake you. I am with you in the good times, and I am just as
present with you in the difficult times. I am with you in your
present circumstances, watching over you, working My glory in the
midst of your trials. I do not desire for you to be defeated by the
things that beset you. Instead, I desire to make you an over comer 
in Me! I desire to thrust you into a place of victory. My plans 
for you truly are good plans.

Child, draw close to Me. Ask Me for good things, because I desire to give
them to you. And what better thing could I give you than Myself? Child,
I give Myself freely to you as you draw close to Me in submission to My 
will. And what could satisfy you more than My nearness and My love and 
My pleasure upon you? It will bring you joy and satisfaction. It will 
also bring you comfort and peace. In Me you will know fullness of love.

Child I am not far from you, no matter how far away it may feel to you. 
I live inside of you, and I will never leave you nor forsake you. And
if you look expectantly to Me, then I will manifest My presence to you, 
and I will work My glory in your situations. Child, I am with you.
Who can defeat Me or keep Me from doing what I desire to do? And I 
desire to work good things in you and to give good things to you. 
I desire that your joy might be full, that your joy be independent of
your present circumstances and that it be based in Me and in My provision. 
And I desire to show you My glory and to demonstrate My faithfulness 
to you over and over again. I desire to form My character in your 
innermost being, and I desire to commune with you and to draw you closer
to Me than you have ever been before. I desire to provide for your needs.
And I desire to cause your faith to grow, so that you will not fret no
matter what circumstances may surround you. I desire you to know Me
as your provider, as your care-taker, as your joy-giver and as the One 
who thrusts you into My victory.

Child of Mine, My plans for you are good. And I am able to accomplish
them in your life. So look to Me and trust in Me, and you will find
contentment for your soul and joy for your innermost being. I will give
you a hope and a future. Your hope is in Me, and My spirit will lead
you into the destiny I have pre-selected for you. It is a good plan and
you souls will be satisfied as you walk in it. So rejoice and be 
exceedingly glad, for My plans for you are good.
