God Created You

b'When I became a parent, I began to understand the importance of treating my kids as unique and independent people. One loves boundaries, another one pushes on boundaries, and another one doesn\\u2019t seem to see the boundaries at all. One loves soccer, one loves lacrosse, one loves drawing. The truth is, we are all unique! Sometimes, society praises certain qualities over others\\u2014but God created each of us with a divine purpose in mind. Psalm 139:13-14 in the Bible says, \\u201cFor you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother\\u2019s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.\\u201d This week, consider what your unique qualities are. Are you confident, charismatic, or do you pay special attention to detail? Then, consider how God might want to use you to help spread His message. Are there people in your circle that don\\u2019t go to church? Maybe you\\u2019re the person to share the Good News with them! Are you a leader in your community, school, or neighborhood? Perhaps others would go to church with you if you invited them. In any case, know that you are unique, and you were created for a purpose.
