What is God's will?

i was asked an interesting question yesterday - Does God have a specific plan/destiny for me?

i think it is a question on many people's mind. 2 thoughts to linger on:

Firstly, should the question be re-engineered? 1) What is God's plan for humanity? 2) what is my part in God's plan? Perhaps answering these could reveal more on our own destiny?

Then again, a part of me wonders if we are too self-concerned to keep asking this question? Or are the ready-made answers given out too simplistic for us to accept?

Perhaps a study of what happened in Eden can reveal more? What exactly was stolen from us the moment our ancestors ate the fruit? LIFE - life itself was stolen.

more than 4000 years later, Jesus came and said in John 10:10 that He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly.

Life that was stolen, Jesus came to restore. Have you found LIFE?

Secondly, Many are the paths in the minds of men, but it is the Lord's purposes that prevail. Something to consider - "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear"...

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. ¹² Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."
- God (Jeremiah 29)
