Do I need to know God's plan?
I asked my wife to marry me without knowing where we would live, how our lives would change when we would have children, what her health would be like in ten years, let alone where we'd have our wedding reception.
I asked my wife to marry me because I wanted a relationship with her. I loved her and trusted her so much that I didn't need all the other answers. And the reality is that I couldn't have had all those answers up front anyway.
The same is true in our relationship with God. We are invited to welcome a personal relationship with God without knowing where it will lead.
One of the great joys of marriage is stepping into the mystery of one's future together committed to each other. It's also one of the great joys of a personal relationship with God.
On the cross God committed to a personal relationship with you no matter where that would lead him even as it led him to death for your mistakes. Our God who considers a relationship with us to be worth his own death, invites you to trust his love enough to welcome a personal relationship with him without knowing all the details about where it will lead you.
If we need to know all the answers about where our relationship with God will lead us before welcoming that relationship, we will literally wait forever outside of a relationship with him. When we marry someone, we don't marry a plan; we marry a person. When we choose God, we're choosing a person as well.

About this Plan
Do you ever feel like parts of you, especially your relationship with God, are hidden from the eyes of others? Do you ever feel lost in the world as someone who has found Jesus Christ? Do you ever feel like some parts of your walk with God are impossible for even your Christian brothers and sisters to fully comprehend? Every Christian in some way is hidden with Christ in God.
