How many times have you reached inside yourself so deeply that you pulled out something you didn’t recognize? How many times have you approached your Maker not as who you want to be, not as who you wish you were, not as who you think you are, not as who you ought to be, but just as you are.
With all that dirt that covered you. When God first fell in love with you. How many times have you run to your Lover for passion, your Provider for rations, your Father for lessons, your Instructor for lashings?
David Bowden: “The Number”
So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressure. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
You are not an accident. Your parents may not of planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on our self will never reveal your purpose. You were made by God, and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, our destiny.
