Accidents Don't Just Happen

"You are who you are for a reason,
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique deisng,
Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look 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 may 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 hurt you so;
But it was alloweds 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 there is a God!"
- Russell Kelfer


The Connect Group I've just joined has been reading through Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life as a group and this is an excerpt from Day Two of the 40 Day Journey to discover God's purpose for your life. It's a captivating book and I highly recommend reading it if you're struggling to decide where to go to next.
"The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us."
- Romans 12v13
