Day 2: You Are Not An Accident

Question: I know that God uniquely created me. What areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?

When reading this day of The Purpose Driven Life, I really had to ask myself, "Do I reflect on the idea that I was uniquely created in God's image?" After thinking, I don't. I have a hard time accepting my weight, accepting my outside appearance, accepting my familial structure. I have sometimes thought that I was just the "fluke" in the system. I have sometimes thought that I was an accident. By happenstance things in my life fell or came to be. Not because they were ordained that way, but because I happened to be with one person at one time. I happened to go to school and get good grades. I happened to "BE". Now, I realize that everything is by design. There are no mistakes in God's plan. God is the creator of ALL and HE created me.

Everything that I go through in my life is for a reason. Everything that I breathe, eat, think, and say. God knew I was going to do it before it happened. So now, I just need to reflect and listen. Maybe the answer I want is getting closer to me everyday.
