"My son's choices have disqualified him from God's best plan for his life."
How it sounds in your head: He had so much potential. God had a great plan, but he threw it away with these decisions. Now he'll have to settle for second-best at best. The good future is gone.
"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."
-- Jeremiah 29:11Religious teaching that God has one perfect plan that can be permanently missed.
You remember prophecies over him as a child, his early spiritual sensitivity, the potential everyone saw. His current trajectory looks nothing like those promises.
Murdered a man in rage, fled in fear, hid in the desert for 40 years doing nothing. God appeared and said 'NOW you're ready to deliver Israel'—his greatest calling came AFTER his worst failure.
I REFUSE the lie that my son has disqualified himself from God's best. IT IS WRITTEN in Jeremiah 29:11 that God's plans are for hope and future, spoken to people in exile for rebellion. Moses murdered and became the deliverer. David committed adultery and murder and stayed the man after God's heart. IT IS WRITTEN in Romans 11:29 that God's callings are irrevocable. I stand on the BARAK blessing—Jacob STOLE a blessing through deception and God made it stick. My son's destiny is intact and unfolding through redemption.
The Father doesn't have a Plan B because your son never left Plan A. God specializes in using the exact things the enemy meant for destruction as the foundation for unprecedented calling.
