Chapter 2 was a great read for me! Knowing that God created me bit by bit gives me the courage to walk with my head held high proudly. No matter what my fears may be or insecurities, that doesn’t take away from what God created me to be! I am meaningful and my life wasn’t just thrown together with no depth or reason. I make mistakes and I’ve had accidents but my life wasn’t an accident and so I don’t have to walk around as if my life doesn’t matter!
To answer Day 2’s question transparently. Although I now know I was perfectly Created.. I struggle with certain parts of me. Like my physical appearance and personality. Years of being told I wasn’t good enough festered in my thoughts and manifested a negative outlook on my life. I had this dyer need to be shorter, smaller, and darker complected. I also get misunderstood a lot, because my personality is a little extreme. Even to this day, I get constantly judged. It makes me want to be silent and sometimes I do but I know that’s not what I should do or what God wants from me.
Yes, knowing that He designed us exactly the way we are is empowering to each of us. What we may look at as faults or defects, Our Father sees it as a special and unique design enhancement! He equips us with the tools to fulfill all that we need to do, and we can consider our special features as direct blessings from the Most High. Even the experiences we have been through have molded us for a special assignment He has for us to accomplish.
Thanks for the comment!
Day 2 was a good read. The statement that stood out to me was ” God’s purpose took into account human error, and even sin”. This just grabbed my attention. To me this says that no matter how a child has entered this world, no matter the circumstances and situations, it was ordained by God. Even if some pregnancies came as a surprise to the parents, God already had this planned. Nothing done by God is accidental.
The statement also gave me pause as I reflected on the timing of my first pregnancy. Let’s just say that it wasn’t under the right circumstances. When I found out I was pregnant, I would say that time in my life I was not ready for a child because I was barely able to take care of myself and I was on academic probation in college…BUT GOD. God knew me well enough to know what would happen with a child in my life. My life was quickly transformed. I became more focused and purpose driven. My life was no longer just about me. My child was not an accident in the eyes of God. The goals I thought I would not be able to accomplish were successfully completed and in a shorter period of time. God put me in the position of being a mother knowing that I would fall right in line with his plan for my life. This is what I strongly believe.
Excellent thought. I like how you can relate it personally, which is how we all need to approach these lessons. But God’s plan is a perfect plan. It may not match our own desires or time schedules, but if we live according to His plan, without our own adjustments, we fare much better in life. He doesn’t make mistakes and every life to Him is precious and planned for.
