I am currently reading The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? By Rick Warren. There is a poem in here by Russell Kelfer that really got me to thinking. Here it is:
You are who you are for a reason.
You're a part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurts you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because their is a God!
This has brought me to tears. Just knowing that God took the time to choose the way I look, the way I was going to talk, my personality, what i was going to in life, etc. Oh what a Mighty God we serve! For Him to love me sooooo much to make only one unique me. He knew who I was and was going to be before He made me. Before He conceived me in my mother's womb. There is no reason for me to question what should I do with my life or where should I go? God has already prepared my life for me. That's why I am a strong believer in consulting God first in everything. Why would I ask anyone else but the One who knows all? I just needed to share this because the God we serve is Super Aweome!!
