You are anything but accidental.

John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being.

Have you ever wondered where all that we know came from? You know, where and how the creation got started? I know I have. Answers from certain scientific corners talk about some sort of cosmic collision of particles and gases; not much more than a glorified mistake.

But our Scriptures craft a much different picture. It is in these verses that we hear all things came into being through the Word; who, as we make our way to Bethlehem, we ultimately come to know in the person of Jesus. The creation was intentional; the creation was thought out; the creation will always be vitally important to the Divine.

You are a part of that creation which means that your beginnings can be traced back to one source: Jesus. You are anything but accidental. You, and everything that you know, came into being because the God of Creation breathed life into you. So if you ever wonder, yes, you are that important to God!

Holy God, before the beginning of time, You knew that I would be. Thank You for this creation and for crafting me in such a wonderful way. Guide me, so that I may walk in Your Way and be led by Your light. Amen.
