Day 2 - You Are Not An Accident

March 08, 2005

Author: Rev. Kip B. Banks, Sr.

“Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love.” (Ephesians 1:4a)

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.

Why did God 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!

Peace and Love,
