Uniquely You

Have you thought about all the events that led up to this moment in your life—why you’re here, how you’ve been shaped, what caused you to read this book or seek God’s plans for your life? Have you wondered how much of it is accidental or random and how much is designed?

God knew exactly where you would be right now and exactly what you would be like. He knew about your passions and gifts and the platform you have. In fact He was very purposeful in designing your life. He made you to be uniquely significant and to have an eternal impact on the world around you.

How would you live differently if you really believed that God had intentionally designed you to impact others? What steps of faith would you take if you knew He had already planned them? What would you attempt if you were fully convinced He was backing you? What impossible problems would suddenly seem possible to deal with?

Don’t be afraid to try big things that fit with God’s purposes. No problem is too big for Him to solve. That means no problem is too big for us to attempt to solve in His strength. We were designed for such purposes.

His Promises

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

The LORD is my helper,

so I will have no fear.

What can mere people do to me?
