FUTURE<\/h4>\n

Definition:<\/h4>\n

The future is the indefinite time yet to come. It is something that will happen in time to come. Further, it can be seen as a prospective or expected condition, especially one considered with regard to growth, advancement, or development.<\/h4>\n

Brief Explanation:<\/h4>\n

Often to move into a future and a hope requires dealing with the past. Grieving losses, resolving conflict, forgiving, etc., are often the weights that beset us, or hold us back from our future destiny.<\/h4>\n

To look to the future, a time when life is problem free is a fantasy we cannot afford to buy into. However, a future with purpose and meaning is quite possible for the most difficult of cases, for we are blessed in Christ and have hope in him. Coming along side a client, speaking future into them in keeping with their gifts and abilities is something a counselor can do by God\u2019s grace.<\/h4>\n

The Word of God:<\/h4>\n

\u201cIn My Father\u2019s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.\u00a0 If I go and prepare a place for you, I\u00a0 will\u00a0 come\u00a0 again\u00a0 and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also.\u201d<\/h4>\n
