You are not an accident

I am busy working through The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.

Today's reading was like the title says "You are not an accident". I just felt so much love when I was reading this chapter. Everyone of us has a purpose, God did not just decide I will have you and you but He made us exactly the way he wanted us, chose our parents, ect. God didn't need to create me but He wanted to express his love. Nobody is on this earth by mistake, we were all planned and God has a purpose for each and everyone of us.

A poem by Russel 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!

God Bless
