Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature.
Your parents may not have planned you, but God did.
He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes.
He has a reason for everything he creates. God planned every plant
and every animal, and every person was designed with a purpose in mind.
God's motive for creating you was his love. The Bible says, "Long before
he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us
as the focus of his love."
Dr. Michael Denton, senior research fellow in human molecular genetics
at the University of Otago in New Zealand, has concluded,
"All the evidence available in the biological sciences supports the core
proposition -- that the cosmos is a specially designed whole with life
and mankind as its fundamental goal and purpose, a whole in which
all facets of reality have their meaning and explanation in this central fact."
The Bible said the same thing thousands of years earlier:
"God formed the earth -- He did not create it to be empty
but formed it to be inhabited."
Why did God do all this? Why did he bother to go to all the trouble
of creating a universe for us? Because he is a God of love.
This kind of love is difficult to fathom, but it's fundamentally reliable.
You were created as a special object of God's love!
God made you so he could love you.
This is a truth to build your life on.
