PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE DAY 2: YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

HEY LADIES AND GENTS....DAY 2 (WIPES FOREHEAD) SO, HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING? HOW WAS DAY ONE? THE FIRST WEEK IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE MOST DIFFICULT, BUT TAKE HEART GOD IS WATCHING AND WILL REWARD YOUR EFFORTS IN ABUNDANCE.

SO TODAY'S TOPIC--- "YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT"

THIS IS MY SECOND GO ROUND WITH THIS BOOK AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS CHAPTER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES...WHY?

BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME THAT THE "FLAWS" I BELIEVE I HAVE WERE ACTUALLY PUT THERE BY GOD HIMSELF AND ADD TO MY INDIVIDUALITY, UNIQUENESS, SASSYNESS, FABULOSITY (LOL) ... AFTER ALL, HE MAKES NO MISTAKES. AS HUMANS, WE QUESTION OUR REALITY, HOME ENVIRONMENT, OUR PARENTS, SIBLINGS, UPBRINGING, UNPLEASANT CIRCUMSTANCES AND/OR SITUATIONS WE FIND OURSELVES IN BUT IN ACTUALITY NONE OF IT IS BY CHANCE OR MISTAKE. THE WAY WE REACT DETERMINES WHETHER IT WILL PROSPER OR HINDER US...EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE THAT LOVE THE LORD.

TAKE AWAY POINTS:

1. CUSTOM-MADE---> YES, YES, YES HONEY...GOD CREATED YOU WITH SUCH PRECISION, PURPOSE AND LOVE IN MIND. NOTHING ON YOU OR IN YOU... IS BY CHANCE. YOUR SKIN COLOR, HEIGHT, EYE COLOR, FOREHEAD SIZE (LOL),  YOUR PERCEIVED IMPERFECTIONS ARE ALL DESIGNED BY HIM. WE MAY THINK "OMG" MY PARENTS ARE SO INCOMPATIBLE, MY FATHER IS ABSENT IN MY LIFE, THIS OR THAT HAS HAPPENED...BUT DESPITE YOUR PARENTAL IMPERFECTIONS OR UPBRINGING, GOD KNEW THAT YOUR MOM AND POP'S DNA WAS NEEDED TO CREATE THE PERFECT CREATION...YOU!!! 


2."MADE FOR A REASON" WE ALL HAVE A SPECIFIC DURATION TO LIVE ON EARTH AS PREDETERMINED BY THE CREATOR HIMSELF. BEFORE YOU WERE CONCEIVED, YOUR EXACT DATE OF BIRTH AND DEATH HAD ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED. LOOK... THE IDEA I AM TRYING TO GET ACROSS IS THAT WE ONLY HAVE A LIMITED TO OCCUPY THIS LAND BEFORE OUR FATHER CALLS US HOME. YOU HAVE DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WANT TO "LIVE" OR "EXIST"...TO LIVE WE MUST FIND OUR PURPOSE AND EXECUTE IT DAILY. TO EXIST...WE SETTLE FOR WHATEVER WE CAN GET WHICH GIVES NO JOY, LOVE, PEACE AND DEFINITELY NOT PLEASING TO GOD.

POINT TO PONDER: I AM NOT AN ACCIDENT.

VERSE TO REMEMBER:  THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS-- HE WHO MADE YOU, WHO FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB , AND WHO WILL HELP YOU (ISAIAH 44: 2 A; NIV) 

QUESTION TO CONSIDER: I KNOW THAT GOD UNIQUELY CREATED ME. WHAT AREAS OF MY PERSONALITY, BACKGROUND, AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AM I STRUGGLING WITH?
