You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother’s body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well.

All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old. — Psalm 139:13-16 (NCV) You are an amazing, unique creation of our Heavenly Father. When He wrote all of our days in His book, I don’t think He left any blank pages. He has a plan and purpose for every day of your life.

The LORD is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Psalm 145:17-18 NKJV).

Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
 bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.” — Psalm 46:8-10 (The Message) Simply put, be still and recognize that He is God. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse (Romans 1:20, NIV). Remember now your Creator, the One who formed you in your mother's womb. Above all, He is God!

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  — James 4:8 (NKJV) As we make our New Year resolutions and set our goals for the coming year,  may pursuing the peaceful, yet powerful Presence of Almighty God be our number one priority. To know our heavenly Father and stay connected to Him, is truly our primary purpose. Allow the fullness of His Spirit, and the abundance of His love to fill your empty, broken places.

What you say goes—it always has. “Beauty” and “Holy” mark your palace rule, God, to the very end of time.  — Psalm 93:5 (The Message) Perfect in beauty, God shines forth! “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8) Our Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth (Isaiah 54:5). Gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple (Psalm 27:4).  Worship the LORD in the beauty of His holiness! Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do (1 Peter 1:15). For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight (Ephesians 1:4).

Before the creation of the world, he chose us through Christ to be holy and perfect in his presence. Because of his love he had already decided to adopt us through Jesus Christ. He freely chose to do this...  — Ephesians 1:4-5 (GW) Long before the foundation of the earth was laid, God chose you. Because of the GREAT LOVE He has for you (insert your name), He decided to adopt you and bring you into His family. You are a child of the King of glory, and all of His precious promises are for you! The Creator of the universe and all it contains, calls you by name and wants you in His Presence. He wants you to dine at the table with Jesus. Wow! Thank God for all of His loving thoughts toward you.

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to. 1 John 3:1 (The Message) What marvelous love the Father has lavished on us! No matter what the world calls you, a child of God is your true identity. It guarantees you a glorious inheritance! As a child of God, you are a beloved treasure and a beautiful, unique creation. And nothing can separate you from His great love!

Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Psalm 90:1-2 (NKJ) The LORD has been our dwelling place and our refuge throughout every generation. He chose us in Him before the creation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). From the beginning to the end, He is God, strong, mighty, and righteous. Eternal, permanent and self-existent. All-sufficient and all-bountiful. Full of power, majesty and splendor. Holy, holy, holy is the LORD God Almighty. The whole earth is full of His glory! Our heavenly Father is our Redeemer, our Provider and our Healer. He is God and there is no other!

You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day. Psalm 139:15-16 (The Message) God knit you together in your mother’s womb. Like the Master potter, He sculpted you into a unique creation. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Absolutely beautiful, in the eyes of your Creator. You are a beloved and highly treasured child of God. Our heavenly Father prepared each day of your life and recorded them in His book, before a single day had passed. God has special plans for your life, plans to give you a future filled with hope and peace. Only you can fulfill the purpose for which God created you. Persevere and pursue the passions of your heart.
