you, my dear, are no accident



You are not an accident.
Your birth was no mistake.
Your life is no fluke of nature.
Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God.
He thought of you first.
It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment.
God prescribed every detail of your body.
Your body is not ugly, your body is beautiful.
He custom-made you just the way He wanted to.
God determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your personality.
"You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something." {Psalm 139:15 msg}
Because God made you for a reason, he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live.
He planned the days of your life in advance.
Nothing in your life is arbitrary. It's all for a purpose.
God had a plan in creating you. 
He makes no mistakes.
God made you the focus of his love and the most valuable of all his creation.
"God decided to give us life through the word of truth so we might be the most important of all the things he made."{James 1:18}
"I have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth.  Even when you are old, I will be the same.  Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take car of you. I made you and will take care of you."{Isaiah 46:3-4}
God made you for a reason.
Your life has profound meaning and purpose.
"The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us." {Romans 12:3 msg}
God doesn't create accidents.
You are not an accident.
You are unique.
There is no one else like you.
Not one.
Embrace every part of who you are.
Don't strive to be someone you're not.
Don't wish you were someone else.
Everyone else is taken.
Be you.
God has a plan for your life, that only you can fulfill.

  4. Hi Molly, I'm a Daybook Lover and Jenn Day mentioned you do a similar thing over here on your blog. I figure since you're local and I actually know who you are in real life, there was really no choice but for me to add you to talk my blog stalking list. I've been a quiet follower for quite a while, but today I just need to let you know how much I appreciate this entry. Thank you for allowing Christ to use you through this blog to reach out to so many other women.
