"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jer 29:11

A very popular Bible verse as well as one of my personal favorites.


Coincidence that my middle name is Peace? or, not? ;-)


P.S. 

you ever know every single lyric to a song down to the adlibs and one day while singing it, it hit you that you don't know what the heck the song is talking about? So then you go back through and listen, I mean really listen; without singing along, and pay attention to  what the artist was trying to convey? ... you begin to appreciate the song that. much, more. 
   
              Well, that's how I felt about this verse for the longest time.

Growing up in the church, a lot of Bible verses became so familiar to me that they lost their meaning. I believe in Joshua 1:8, this is why the word "meditate" is used, "...thou shalt meditate therein day and night..." It's a great way to truly come to appreciate the purpose of many verses in the Scripture and become more conscious of obeying it.
