A Letter to the Exiles

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”


God longs to bless and reward His people, but it is essential that they be willing to turn to Him and repent of their unfaithfulness and disobedience.

In Hebrews 11:6 we learn that “…he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”

God has revealed a passion for our highest good, yet we struggle with seeking Him and the rewards He offers. God’s desire is for our good. Our desire must be for Him.
