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 — and 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. Ps 139:13-16 NLT
Before I was born the doctor told my mom and dad I was going to be a girl; but then that was an “educated” guess based on my heartbeat.
However, God knew all about me.
Now there are a variety of tests one can take to determine the gender of the baby before birth but none of those test can determine the personality, talents, hopes, dreams, and goals.
When I was born my parents did not look at me and say, “Oh, look! A baby geocache-loving, guitar playing, photograph taking, minister on the radio that loves to joke around and will have a wonderful wife, children, and grandchildren!”
No, they never said that because they didn’t know.
But God knew all about me!
I may not preach like Billy Graham, Tony Evans, or Chuck Swindoll.
I can’t play the guitar like Van Halen, Slash, or Jimmy Page.
I’m not a professional photographer or the best DJ you’ll ever hear.
I am who I am and that’s all I can be.
God created me in His own image and set me on my way.
I was on the way of destruction and depravity.
Along that way I discovered that I still need Him and I am who I am because of Him.
All by myself I was on the way of destruction; with Him I on my way to life.
You, too, must be who you are but become a better you through Jesus.
If you’re life is turmoil; if you are unhappy, depressed, with no purpose then accept Jesus as your Savior and seek to live for Him.
You’ll find it very rewarding and satisfying.
