God Made You Cause He Really Wanted You

Have been on a few days vacation – enjoying time with family and friends, so this will be really short. (some of you are doing high fives!)

Not sure what the context of the conversation was, but this past week Bethany Powers (age 3) said: “God made me cause He really wanted me.” Let that sink in for a few minutes.

No matter what you’re thinking or feeling today – remember God made you because He really wanted you. He planned you – created you – wants an intimate relationship with you – and wants to impact others through you. If you’re questioning any of this – take a few moments today to meditate on Psalm 139. And then reflect on the truth in Romans 8:37-39. God loves you and made you because He wanted you!

Bless you,

Pastor BJ
