YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

                                                        

                                                            YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

                                               YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

• Isaiah 44:2a "Thus saith the Lord that make thee and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee".
• Long before you were conceived by your parent, you were in the mind of God. It is not fate, nor chance, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment.
• The bible tells us, “God is love”. It doesn’t say God has love. He is love! Love is the essence of God character. There is perfect love in the fellowship of the Trinity. So God didn’t need to create you. He wasn’t lonely. But He wanted to make you in order to express His love to you.
•  Romans 12:3 for I say, through the grace unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but  to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
• Some persons are down because of the way they came to the world; some were giving birth through wedlock, some the mother were rapped, some only discover that they were picked from the dustbin and so on. But the good news is that in the present of God you are not a mistake because He wonderfully and fearfully made you in His own image. Let no one whelm you down that you are a mistake.
•  But there is a God who made you for a reason, and your life has profound meaning! We discover that meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives. The message paraphrase of Romans 12:3 says. “But to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith”.

This poem by Russell Kelfer sums it up.

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 man or woman.

You look as 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 have were the ones He chose,

And no matter how you 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 whom you are, beloved,

Because there is a God!”

                              

                      REFLECTION

Point to ponder: I am not an accident

Verse Isaiah 44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, from the womb, which will help thee; fear not O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurum whom I have choosen.

Question to consider: I know that God uniguely created me. What areas of my personality, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?
