I AM GOD’S PLAN: GOD

Within the human heart there is a notion of someone or something greater than our self.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

God has put eternity into our hearts.

Because of this notion, there should be a greater longing to discover spiritual things.

Acts 17:16-31

I am fiercely pursuing spiritual things
(ultimate truth, certain hope, perfect love)
