You Are Not An Accident

You are not the product of a cosmic accident or of blind evolution! Look around and you see design and order. Converse with people and you look into their eyes and make contact with their soul. Witness the sun rising or setting and you see beauty. All God's handiwork.

You, too, are God's handiwork. You are not an accident, but are wonderfully made. You are not left alone, but are loved totally and unconditionally. Though others may be denigrated your character, He is the 'lifter of your head', and God has a purpose just for you. He made you to be 'you', so celebrate that idea and live your life to the full.

Here's a great poem by Russell Keilfer:

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 no 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 loving God!
