Created and Known
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Psalm 139:13-18
You have been created by a loving God.
He knew you before the foundations of the world.
He thinks precious thoughts toward you; so many that they can’t be numbered.
He has a plan for your life!
He loved you when He created you, before you accomplished anything.
You worth comes not from what you do, but simply because you are you!
Having a relationship with God is not about doing or not doing.
Having a relationship with God is about learning to have a real and meaningful relationship with the One who knew you before time began, and loved you even then.
Stop striving.
Start spending time.
