God’s Good Idea

You were created in the mind of God before you were conceived in a womb. You were God’s idea. And God is the One who made you for a specific time and place on the earth. You aren’t an accident, a mistake, an error, an incident, or a mishap. You were fashioned and made by Elohim-the Lord God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. You were meticulously made by the Master. Many people today grew up hearing that they weren’t wanted by their parents. They were told that were the result of a careless moment. If you have been told that, you need to know the truth. You mother and father didn’t create you. God created you. Your mother and father set up a circumstance in which God had the option to make you then or to wait and make you at another moment in time. But it is God who made you. You are His creation. And God doesn’t make mistakes. It doesn’t matter if you were conceived during an act of date rape and born to a welfare mother who had thirteen other children by ten different men God is the One who ordained and authorized your birth. He created you for His purposes and His glory. He didn’t allow you to be stillborn or to die of crib death. He didn’t allow any number of childhood accidents or diseases to take you out. From the instant He had the idea of you, He intended that you should live and participate in His plan and accomplish His purposes. He never took His hand off your life. It doesn’t matter if you were abused as a child. God brought you through that experience alive, and He is the One who kept you from losing your sanity. He is the One who brought you to an understanding of Jesus Christ as your Savior and raised you up so that you could still fulfill His purposes and reflect His glory in spite of evey effort of the enemy to destory you, diminish you defame you, or discourage you. The fact is, if you hadn’t gone through everything you have gone through, you wouldn’t be the person you are today. And God knows that! He has been in the process of creating you, fashioning you, molding you, designing you, refining you, and perfecting you since the moment before the foundations of the earth when He first thought of you! He gave you your own personality, your own abilities, your own spiritual gifts, and your own identity in Christ so that you, and you alone, might praise Him the way you praise, give what you give, minister like you minister and love as you love. Oh, yes! When God thought of you, He had a good idea!
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love.
