DayTwo: You Are Not An Accident

I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born. Isaiah 44:2a (CEV)

Stuff That Stuck Out:

• "Nothing in your life is arbitrary. It's all for a purpose."
• "While there are illegitimate parents, there are no illegitimate children."
• "God's purpose took into account human error, and even sin."
• "God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes."
• "Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God."
• "Love is the essence of God's character."
• Poem by Russell Kelfer:

You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look 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 the 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!

Point To Ponder: I am not an accident.
