YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT!
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:.." Psalms 139:14. My friend, Oh yes, someone you love or respect slams you to the floor with a slur or slip of the tongue. And there you lie, wounded and bleeding. Lost the self esteem and significance. Perhaps the words and actions intended to hurt you, perhaps not: doesn't matter- there you lay- the wound is deep, the injuries are internal, brokenhearted, wounded pride and bruised feelings, right? Instead of basing our self-worth on God's love and approval, we tend to base it on what others think of us, and how we're accepted by them. Believing that our self-worth is based on what others think of us is a false belief that leads us to become addicted to their approval. Psalm 139 says that I was shaped for a purpose. God created everything in the word for a purpose including you. You are not an accident. You are not taking up space. God made you for a reason. You were designed by God and it was His idea. It's not a mistake. You were planned before birth. God did not simply sit down at a computer and randomly access a bunch of components and throw it all together and out came you. The Bible clearly says that you were purposefully, personally and orderly planned and designed by God. His loving hand made you exactly the way you are. Hey, your uniqueness is what God wants you to offer to the world. Betrayal, trouble, mockery, belittling or such will happen. Don't look for fairness here- look where Jesus looked. When going through hell, Jesus kept His eye on heaven. While surrounded by enemies he kept his mind on His Father. While abandoned on earth, he kept His heart on home. When all of earth turns against you, all of heaven turns toward you, do you know that? To keep your balance in a crooked and unfair world....think home! Tada. That's what Jesus did. "In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of God, the powerful One and coming on clouds in the sky". Matthew 26:64. Now STOP THAT PITY PARTY! RISE UP! WALK LIKE A GENERAL! GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU! Did you hear?
