Ten Things God Never says
1. Oops!
2. What have I done?
3. How did I let that happen?
4. I made a mistake.
5. It was an accident.
6. I don't know what to do.
7. I'm afraid of what will happen now.
8. I can do better than this.
9. What do you think I should do?
10. Why didn't I think of that?
The reason it is important to know these things that God never says is because it means He never says them about YOU either.
God loves His creation just as a mother loves the child that is growing in her womb - sight unseen. She is already completely in love with that tiny person before he or she is ever born.
Your Creator loved you before you were born too. You were wanted. You were not an accident. You didn't evolve from a monkey. God gave you life, and you are a part of His plan. He created you and you are valued, precious, and priceless to Him. He loves you because He made you and He knows who He made you to be.
You are unique. There is no one like you. There never was and never will be. And God has a purpose for you that is unique as well. He has big plans for your life. God never makes mistakes. Therefore you are not one.
We also need to praise God for other people. Waking up every day and thanking Him for other people? They may not be our first thought, but they are His. When we praise God for other people, it helps us to gain His heart for them. He loves them. All of them. Each person that God created has a unique calling and purpose that is important to Him.
God loves all His creation. He surely doesn't love all that has happened to it, but He knows the way He created it to be. He sees its potential. He knows its purpose. He wants you to see that too. The same is true for you. You are His creation and He loves you. He may not love all that has happened to you or all that you have done, but He loves you and He knows the way He created you to be. He sees your potential, and He knows your purpose. And what He can create in your life now is without limits.
All of this came out of the first chapter of "The Prayer that Changes Everything" by Stormie Omartian.
