How could it be that such an Awesome, Holy, Almighty, All-powerful God, Creator of the universe, the One who always was, is and will be, consider creating me as the object of His eternal love. My mind cannot comprehend the width, the depth, nor the height of such great love. God didn't need me. He wasn't bored. He just didn't wake up one day and decide to make little people so that He could watch them suffer and burn in hell. No! He created me because He wanted me. He created me so that He could love me. I am still hung up on this truth that God, wanted me. Because of this truth, I know that I am no accident. I know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. The Creator has created me for His purposes.
I don't know what you might have heard growing up. I don't know if you ever experienced the deep love of a mother or a father. I don't know if you were told that you were ugly, stupid, no good, a nobody, an accident, or a miscalculation. You might have been conceived by a rape, an affair, or a one night stand. In whatever way you were conceived, know this, God wanted you here. He created you for His purpose. He created you to love you. You are the most important human being in the universe to God. God is our Father. His love is greater than any human love. You are no accident! You are special! You are the jewels of God. Before you were conceived in your mother's womb, you were conceived in the heart of God. You are His workmanship. Your height, your weight, your skin color, your eyes, your hair, your personality, your features, your gifts, your talents, your abilities, your passions, your interests, everything was given to you by God. He formed you and shaped you. Don't ever look down at yourself. You are perfect in the eyes of God. He longs for your intimacy. He longs for your relationship. He longs for you to respond to His great love. Take a moment today to respond to His love. Thank Him that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
"Can anything separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love." Romans 8:35,37-38.

Reading this is the Purpose Driven Life book was such a blessing to me. Especially the chapter on "You are No Accident." I was born out of wedlock to a 15 year old mother who did not take care of herself while carrying me and thus I was born weighing only 1 1/2 pounds and given no chance of survival. My father never wanted me and never took any time with me. I was raised by my grandmother (for 13 yrs) who was very mean to me. Yet God allowed these circumstances to happen in order to bring me into the world.
As of today I can boldly say "I am no mistake. God cares for me and He loves and wants me." Knowing this brings such joy and peace to my heart.
I encourage anyone else who felt unwanted and unloved by biological parents, be encouraged because you have a heavenly father who loves you more than your parents ever can. Open your heart and recieve His love. His arms are outstretched waiting just for you.
