Sometimes God's big plans are simply placing us among other believers with an open heart. Maybe you're in a place like James, Jesus's brother, and God wants you to just keep showing up and continuing to grow. Then allow your hardships to increase your wisdom. 

As we look at the life of Nehemiah, we see that understanding God's plans for our lives involves our heart, seasons of intense prayer and a call to action. It's also important that God's plans are different for everyone. 

Have you ever wondered what God's big plans are for your life? Moses was a man, born a slave, raised in Pharaoh's house and sovereignly protected by God. He was trained up from a murderer to a humble man that God used to lead the Israelites.

Christians are called to be a community showing radical grace like the grace we've received through our salvation. We should not be showing judgment, withholding intimacy or grumbling with one another.

Bearing one another's burdens means staying with someone who is dealing with the crushing weight of sin and trials. We must also be willing to let others do the same for us.
