PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE:You are not an accident. day two

I really enjoyed todays reading it was helpful in things I'm currently going through in my personal life right now. i love it how God shows you something remarkable without you expecting it, it just shows that our God is a truly awesome God. 
So you were not an accident. We hear this all the time, that He knew us before the womb, and he knit us in the womb. But reading this chapter it really put it all in perspective for me and i was amazed when i read this today. In this book it says, "Your parents may not have planned you but God did." i love that probably because in the worldly view i was a complete accident, but God planned for me, and he planned the parents i would have. which when i really think back on my life I'm thankful for my parents, even the hard times, this chapter really let me realize that i was holding really big resentment that im now working on letting go .
Psalm 138:8 says,"The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me." I think this verse says it all. He WILL fulfill His purpose but we have to be ready to take on the challenge. We have to be ready to surrender to Him, and lose our lives to take up his cross. 
In this chapter there was a poem that i think explained the whole chapter to the T and  i loved it, its by Russell Kelfer
you are who you are for a reason 
you're part of an intricate plan 
you're a percious and perfect unique design
called God's special woman or man.

you look like you llok for a reason
our God made no mistake
he knit you together within the womb
you're just what he wanted to make 

the parents you had were ones he chose 
and no matter how you may feel 
they were custom-designed with God's plan in mind 
and they bear the master's seal 

no,that trauma you faced was not easy 
and God wept that it hurt you so 
but it was allowed to shape your heart 
so that into his likeness you'd grow

you are who you are for a reason
you've been formed by the master's rod 
you are who you are beloved
because there is a God. 

so with this in mind heres todays work.

Point to ponder:Your not an accident
Memory verse:"i am your creator,you were in my care before you were born." isaiah44:2
Question: I know that God uniquely created me. what area's of my personality,background,and physical appearance I'm i struggling to accept?

and with that have a very blessed day.god bless.

  1. Carissa spoke about how each of us were planned by God and that He purposed to make us just as He did last Thursday Night. What a great thought, that God set out to make you just as you are. He knows every freckle, every hair on your head because He made you! Thanks for the reminder.
