You made it to 2022 for a reason

Happy New Year

Repeat after me: 'I am not here by accident, I am God's idea'. It is important that you clear the lens through that you view yourself. You must not despise who you are. In the eyes of God, you are loved & worth dying for. He created you so that He can delight Himself in you.

You are important to God

The people around you may not see anything good in you, but God sees you as a special person. There is no one else like you on this earth and there will never be! That's how we share in the image of God. There is no one like Him & there will never be anyone but Him.

God to Jeremiah

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; Before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you to serve the nations (as a prophet)". Just like him, our birth was in God's grand plan. He created us to be partakers & co-workers in His overall work of redemption. Your parents may not have 'planned' to have you at the time they did, but God did. He is the giver of life. Pastor Rick Warren, author of the Purpose-Driven Life puts it this way;

Your life is no fluke of nature

Begin the year on a higher plane of seeing yourself the way God sees you. A masterpiece & a work in progress simultaneously. He has good plans for you; plans to prosper you & not harm you. You can trust Him to take care of you in 2022 & beyond ??
