I. God Made Us With Purpose And A Plan
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

~ Psalm 139:13-16
Think about this, before you the God spoke creation into being, He had already looked down the plane of time and saw YOU. Not only did He see you, but He loved YOU. Not only did He love YOU, but He made a plan specifically for YOUR life! As a matter of fact, before He gave you your first breath, your purpose was already being worked out.
Now....consider this: The same One who so carefully planned everything planned YOU for a specific purpose! Everything in your life (good, bad, seemingly neutral) leads you toward your purpose. And it all starts with "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself."
How can you care for others if you don't let them care about you? Just food for thought.
