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 (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV). Friend to Friend We like happy endings.... During the difficult World War II years, Hollywood movie directors re-wrote the endings to popular books such as The Grapes of Wrath to have happy movie endings. Since there was so much sadness around the war, the movie studios wanted to create a cinematic happy ending, even if the books didn’t end that way. One article called this revisionist process, happyendingification or the taking of a bad situation and turning it into a happy one. Do you ever try to do some happyendingification in your life? When we or someone we love is struggling or when a situation we hate is out of control, we grab our control-loving remote to point and click our way to an ending in which everyone is smiling and happy when the final credits roll. However, we don’t watch movies just because we want to see the end. The unfolding storyline draws us in. Watching the characters face tragedies and triumph over their personal problems makes for a rich and full story. The ending is only part of the experience. The same goes for you. While you might be fixated on creating a happy ending, God wants to change your heart along the way. His ultimate plans for you include making you more like Christ. God is more concerned with your character than your comfort Jesus casts a vision of eternal life and redemption that gives us hope far greater than whatever happy ending that we could ever want in this life. You can’t control what will happen in the future, but you can trust God here and now. Keep praying for God to restore a marriage, rescue a prodigal child, heal an illness or provide finances. However, let God’s promises, not your plans, direct your hopes and dreams. When you let go of your view of how the future should look, you’re free to see the possibilities through God’s promises, not just your perspective. God’s plan for the beginning, middle, and end of your life will bless you when you trust Him. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has more for us, because God has put more in us. So, when God says that He has a plan, you can be certain that God can handle everything, even if you can’t. One of the treasures I’ve learned in my surrender journey is this: God is my future. He is my outcome. The same is true for you. God is your future. He is your outcome. God knows your storyline from the beginning to the middle and the end. You can be certain He knows how to land the plane when the time comes. As you reflect on what you’re praying about or worried about for the future, what do you need to let go of and trust God for today? Barb Roose

Even in the quiet and perhaps very different or simple Christmas season, we pray that His peace is with you and that the truest meaning resonates deeply within. Merry Christmas!
