Believe it or not, GOD eagerly awaited your birth. HE was excited, so much so that HE wrote your life story.
Psalms 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
As a writer, by HIS Grace, I know what its like to create a new character, the thrill and fun of mapping out his/her life, friends and family. Imagine if one of those characters were to be born tomorrow.
Most of us were born under fairytale like circumstances, you know, your parents fell in love, got married and them you came along. With all confidence, you know, you didn’t need to be told that they kept themselves chaste before marriage.
So your kind of birth should be the type that would bring a smile to GOD’S face.
The rest of us who were born as a result of a one night stand, extramarital affair, rape, incest, you name it, know what its like to feel unloved, unimportant, unneeded and unwanted. You wonder why your parents couldn’t have married even if it was just for you.
You know what its like to shuttle between houses and not homes, putting up with Aunts that were more of Madams than Mothers, their Husbands that molest you. Everyday, you question why GOD allowed your birth especially to your parents.
Your parents made their own choices, albeit wrong ones. But GOD made HIS own choice; you, yes You, with all your mistakes, shortcomings, plenty of anger and baggage. So even if you did not have a fairytale life or picture perfect family, JESUS wants you. GOD eagerly, I repeat, eagerly awaited your birth.
How do you think I’d feel when people hurt my character by their poor choices? It hurts GOD to see you in pain. JESUS was born under questionable circumstances.
Turn to HIM, let HIM heal your pain. Don’t forget HE loves you. HE has so much planned for you, let HIM in.
