DAY TWO

Purpose Driven Live
You are not an accident
 
I am your creator. you were in my care even before you were born Isaiah 44:2 (CEV)
 
God Doesn't Play Dice Albert Einstein
 
You are not an accident
You birth was no mistake, your life is no fluke of nature.
your parents may not have planned you but God did, He was not at all surprised by your birth.
Before conceived by Parents -conceived by God
 
"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me Psalms 138:8a (NIV)
 
God prescribed every single detail of your body
1. race
2. color skin
3. hair
4. other features
5. body
6. talent
7. personality
 
"you know me inside and out you know every bone in my body you know exactly now I was made bit by bit how I was sculptured from noting into something"Psalms 139:15 (MSG)
 
God Knew : when Born
How long Live
Exactly time of birth
Exactly when your death
 
"you saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I begun to breathe every day was recorded in your book" 139:16(lb)
 
God Planned: where you were born
where you'd live
left no detail to chance
 
"from one man he made every nation... and he determined the times set from them and the exact places where they should live"Act17:26(niv)
 
NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS ARBITRARY
it's all for a purpose
 
Amazing God decided how you would be born it does not matter whether your parents were good, bad or indifferent. God knew that these two individuals passed exactly the right genetic makeup to create (YOU)
 
While there are illegetimate parents, there are no illegitimate children, many children are unplanned by their parents, but they are not unplanned by God.
GOD's purpose took into account human error, and even sin.
 
God never does any things accidently and he never makes mistakes he has a reason for everything he creates
 
God's motive for creating you was his love
 
"long before he laid down earth foundations he had us in mind had settled on us as the focus of his love "Ephesians 1:4(msg)
 
The Bible says God is LOVE
Does not say GOD HAS LOVE
but HE IS LOVE
love is the essence of God's Character
 
"I have carried you since you were born I have taken care of you from your birth, even when you are old, I will be the same even when your hair turned grey I will take care of your, I  made you and I will take care you."Isaiah 463-4(NCV)
 
Day Two
Thinking about my purpose
 
Point to ponder: I am not an Accident
 
Verse to Remember: "I am your creator. You were in my care even before you were born" Isaiah 44:2 (CEV)
 
Question to Consider : knowing that God uniquely created me, what areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept....

Continuing with  the 40 day challenge
 
Day 2:  You Are Not An Accident
 
 

Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything he creates. God planned every plant and every animal, and every person was designed with a purpose in mind. God's motive for creating you was his love. The Bible says, "Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love."

Dr. Michael Denton, senior research fellow in human molecular genetics at the University of Otago in New Zealand, has concluded, "All the evidence available in the biological sciences supports the core proposition -- that the cosmos is a specially designed whole with life and mankind as its fundamental goal and purpose, a whole in which all facets of reality have their meaning and explanation in this central fact." The Bible said the same thing thousands of years earlier: "God formed the earth -- He did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited."

Why did God do all this? Why did he bother to go to all the trouble of creating a universe for us? Because he is a God of love. This kind of love is difficult to fathom, but it's fundamentally reliable. You were created as a special object of God's love! God made you so he could love you. This is a truth to build your life on.

Well I did not want to keep giving you the same information over and over..

so.. I am going to give you.. my summation.. since.. I am giving you my information.. when I post.. or email. .. you as well.. 

well it said I was not an accident... I was floored with that... all my life ... I was told I was an accident... then it had scripture to go with it.. and THAT MADE MY DAY>.. that made me a believer that I am not an accident.. that the garbage that I was told alll my life... that I was an accident... was all wrong... that I was

God prescribed everything about you...

every little details... everything... every little detail.... everything.... every thing.... and that makes me understand what and who I am...

 

okay this is the one thing that stood out to me....

While there are illegetimate parents, there are no illegitimate children, many children are unplanned by their parents, but they are not unplanned by God.

you know...  I am adopted... and not just once but twice... meaning that my real mom gave me up maybe willingly maybe not... I have no idea.... but she did... but either way.. God... KNEW.... that my mom and that my dad... would be the right one to create ... me... wow... the ones to make ME... that make me the me I am .. to make me a laughing... giggling... vivant... strong... fearful at times leader... with doubts.. at time... but went through hell... and still have things to go through ... and I am who I am ... cause... God.. Made... Me... WOW>>> what a thing.... but it is not... that .... he knew what I would be going through... and new that it would make me who I am... he knew... as a child... the things that I went through... would make... me a stronger women....  he knew... that... my fear of my father.... and what he put me through... would make me a stronger women... today.. but a cautious one.. that knows that you don't just do things... on a wim.... ahd he knew that ....  when my emotions as a child did not get taken care of .. that as an adult... I would be strong enough... to get help...

wow... I am soooo thankful he knew all these things... that... HE KNEW>..

and HE did it casue he loves... he loves with all his heart...

now the question to consider:

Knowing that God uniquely created me, what areas of my personality or background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept.... well... I have to say.... I am struggling with.... just one... why am I SOOOOO BIG>>>>>

I accept... that I am jolly..

I accept that I procrastinate

I accept that ... I have black hair.. but I blonde it.. LOL ..shhhhh

I accept that ... my eyes are crossed...

I accept that ... my health problems limit every part of my life... but tell you what... I am a very energetic person.. when I give my all

I accept .. that I have had strokes... I came back from them

I accept that ... I am limited with things... but I still strive

but with alll why do I have to be sosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss oooooo

big.... LOL... nah.... that is just me....

I am me... and I accept that...

and before today I did not accept being adopted... but now I do..

thanks ..

Trisha Barnie

DAY TWO
 
YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT
 
It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this
very moment.
 
He willed me into existence, He planned my life and planned my death.  wow!
 
I am afraid of death and there is a certain comfort that God has planned it
whether near from now (I am 44) or far. 
 
God planned where you'd be born, your country, race and nationality are
no accident.
 
I have often thought Scotland is the perfect place for me as with my allergy
to the sun I don't really have to worry about hot weather here.
 
God planned it all perfectly!
 
God created the earth and its environment so we could live in it.  WE are
the reason why there is an earth. 
 
God made you so He could love you.  This is a truth you can build your
life upon.  Wow this is life-changing stuff.  To me that sentence there,
if a non believer read that, it is a real starting point.  He was not lonely,
He had The Trinity's love and fellowship - He created us so He could
have children to love.  In order to have an expression for His Love.
 
I Am your creator.  You were in my care even before you were born.  (Isaiah 44: 2 a)
 
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.  (Psalm 138: 8 a)
 
You saw me before I was born and scheduled every day of my life before I
began to breathe.  Every day was recorded in Your Book.  (Psalm 139: 16) (LB)
 
GOD NEVER DOES ANYTHING ACCIDENTALLY AND HE NEVER
MAKES MISTAKES.
 
God decided to give us life through the word of truth so we might be the most
important of all the things He made.  (James 1:18).
 
GOD IS LOVE.  1 John 4:8
 
What areas of my personality, background and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?
 
My personal faith and beliefs as taught by the Holy Spirit; my molestation as a
child and adult; my present disability. 
 
God bless
 
May xoxo
