"There is a 13 year difference between my siblings" a friend mentioned
"The last is an Oops baby" I commented
"No,she was a retirement plan for my parents.They needed a child to keep them busy once they retire"our conversation continued
As our discussion continued, it dawned on me that there are all types of babies by human description.Some they say are accidental,some are unplanned.Others are retirement plans.
Since then, I have been thinking about life and purpose.I was drawn to the scripture in Jeremiah that says:
David Psalms 139 adds:
You are God's workmanship,created for a special purpose.Your parents may not have planned for you.They may even have seen you as one who came to spoil their fun. They may have thought of aborting you. Actually, they might have tried
By the fact that you are alive,God had and still has a plan for you.He knit you together in your mother's womb.There are no accidental children.God was not surprised at your birth.He knew you would be born.He actually arranged where you would be born and when.
If you ever doubted your being alive, I thought of encouraging you that you are alive because you have a purpose to fulfil.There are shoes that only you can wear.There is a gap that will remain unfilled if you don't fill it.
There is a space for you.You shall fill it.Deal?
In agreement with you. Its a great encouragement to be reminded of God's plan. Thanks and may God bless you
