Look what your lord has promised for those who love him.
“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.”

Well, remember that the Lord was speaking directly to the Israelites who were in captivity down in Babylon. He promised to bring them out of Babylon and back to Jerusalem.
It certainly is permissible to lift this scripture from its context and historical setting and apply it to one's life today - but be careful.
Perhaps God wants us to think about and apply another verse in the same chapter:
"I will send war, famine, and disease upon them and make them like rotting figs..."
ya see what i mean? What gives someone the right to "lift" one verse and neglect another? answer: God must make a verse real to us and apply it to our hearts. some times He might want to send a verse of hope and comfort - but other times He may want to send a message of rebuke and warning.
god bless

Look out ! its another opening for those long winded Christians,i wish they would all get RSI or break both their hands at the same time ? And get Alzheimer's in one hit.
That way we will be rid of them once and for all and we can then be at peace with our evolutionary ways.

For the Lord of All, the God of Israel, says, 'Do not let the people among you who tell what is going to happen in the future and those who use their secret ways fool you. Do not listen to their dreams. 9 For they speak false words to you in My name. I have not sent them,' says the Lord.
------------------
26 "The Lord has made you the religious leader over the house of the Lord instead of Jehoiada. You are to take every crazy man who says he speaks in God's name and put him in chains with iron around his neck
---------------
31 "Send word to all My people held in Babylon, saying, 'This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Shemaiah has spoken to you in My name, but I did not send him. He has made you trust in a lie.'
--------------------------------------
All of these believers insist upon taking the smallest quote they can find, strip it of all context and use it to mean something it was never meant to.
You should realise that you are committing blasphemy by misquoting your Bible when you quote mine it.
It is one of the more serious sins.
