YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

Has anyone ever told you that your birth was not planned? Your earthly parents may not have planned your birth, but nothing in this world can happen without God's seal of approval. When the Lord wants something to be done, it will be done one way or the other. I was not a planned pregnancy by my parents, but I know that God wanted me in this world. I know that He has a specific plan for me and a purpose. I do not know the details yet, or where I will be in five years. I do know that the God that created the Heavens and the Earth, knows every hair on my head. He knew everything about my life, start to finish and still accepted, created, and loved me. There is no waste in God's world. Everything and everyone has a purpose. He loves every single one of us unconditionally. We are His children. When we go shopping, do we focus on the form of transportation that we use to get us there? Besides making sure we have a way, we really do not put much thought into that do we? No, we are probably concentrating more on what we will do once we get there. What shops will we go into? How much will we spend? We focus on the bigger picture of getting the task done. If we sit around and ponder too much about every little detail, we may miss our ride. Perhaps this is how we should look at the form of transportation that God chose to get us to Earth. Now of course I am not trying to compare our parents to a car. I am quite sure that God hand selected our specific parents, and that they play a pivotal role, in who we are to become in Christ. What I am saying is that God did in fact get us here. WE ARE CREATED TO GOD. The only thing we need focus on is what to do while we are here. I love and respect my parents but they could have never planned ME, even if they had tried. Only God can do that. Furthermore, we can be anything we want to be in Christ. Our parents provide an "environment" for us to grow in. There are some learned behavorial patterns and thinking patterns that will come from this, but nothing that we cannot change with the help of Christ if we truly want to. Start asking God to put the right people on your path today, that will influence you and encourage you in a positive way (Christ centered fellowship). This and daily communion with your true Father, will transform you into the beautiful butterfly you are meant to become for His Kingdom.

  1. I was recently thinking of the saying, "the apple don't fall far from the tree" We do take on many of the attributes of our parents, some good, some maybe not so good. The good news is that once we know God as our heavenly Father we begin to take on His attributes and our desire is to mimick Him and please Him.

    We are not an accident, God is the orchestrator of perfect timing and circumstance. We may not understand it all, but we can be at peace knowing that he does and we are in His hands.

    God Bless
