40 Days of purpose: Day 2

Day 2 - You are not an accident

Rick writes, "Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first." I LOVE that. There is so much Scripture that speaks to that:

Psalm 138:8
Psalm 139:15-16
Ephesians 1:4

...just to name a few.

It is mind-boggling to me to recognize that our God, first, has the power to do this and, second, has the loving-kindness to take the time to carefully consider us all to such detail. What love He has for us...

God, thank you so much for loving to the capacity that you love us. Help us all remember that we, each one of us, are the beloved product of your divine dream for creation. May we never allow ourselves to become so belittled, frustrated, or beaten down that we begin to believe otherwise. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Grace and Peace
