The better beginning

We can't turn back the time and avoid where we came from. Some of us had a reckless past, a violent past, or even an immoral past. Just because we had a rough beginning doesn't mean there is no hope for us. God has a much better way for us to live, and His plans are far better than our own. Jeremiah 29:11 says it like this: "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." If we would allow God to take over our unknown future, then we will be given a much better beginning.
