Welcome to Abundant Living!

Your existence is not an accident.  You are here on purpose.  There is a reason for your being.  The secret of discovering you is found in discovering the one who made you.  The Scriptures state :

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” – Psalms 139:13,14 English Standard Version {ESV}

The writer of this Psalm is crediting God for his existence.  He acknowledged that his development in the womb was an intentional one.

So it is with us. What we look like, our personality, our likes and dislikes, our talents, and all the other distinctive features that make us, who we are,  are intentional.  We are made by God perfectly for our purpose.

Therefore, each one of us has worth and value.  Let’s celebrate that concerning ourselves today.  Let’s celebrate the value of others, as well.
