God’s Loving Design for You

Each person is a unique expression of God’s loving design. While we may all feel alone or lonely at times, it is important to remember the divine truths about our existence.

God Created You with Intention

• You are not an accident! Isaiah 44:2 reminds us that God is our creator and cared for us even before we were born.
• The Bible assures us, “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me” (Psalm 138:8).

Your Body, Mind, and Gifts Are Carefully Designed

• God chose every detail of your body—your race, skin color, hair, features—and gifted you with natural talents and personality. Psalm 139:15-16 celebrates this thoughtful craftsmanship.
• Though much emphasis might be placed on spiritual gifts, remember the beauty and intentionality in all the other aspects of your being.
• The creative process did not stop at childbirth; God has been molding and shaping you over the years with meticulous care and love.

Your Uniqueness is a Gift

• He placed you in a unique family and gave you a one-of-a-kind personality.
• God has provided you with unique abilities and woven a distinctive assortment of motivators into your life’s fabric.
• He made you absolutely unique for a purpose, driven by His love—Ephesians 1:4 affirms His motive for creating you.

Your Role in God’s Creation

• God designed the world’s environment for us to live in—James 1:18 highlights this intentionality.
• Of all His creations, YOU are the most important. God made you for a reason, a purpose, as part of His divine plan.

Embracing Your Unique Journey

• God’s design for you is precious, perfect, and tailored uniquely for you. He made you exactly how He wanted you to be.
• Your parents, regardless of your childhood experiences, were the ones He chose. Even if we had less-than-ideal childhoods, we can work through struggles and learn to forgive.
• Guess what? We all had less-than-ideal childhoods. Yet, these experiences are part of the intricate story God is weaving for each of us.

Conclusion

You are God’s special creation, designed with love and purpose. Embrace your unique journey, knowing that you are precious in His eyes and perfectly made to fulfill His divine plan.

God’s calling and your legacy.

Plannng and it's importance

Pray, Plan and Prioritize...then delegate.

But don't get hung up on planning...the LORD can intervene at any moment and you can change direction! Keep your ears open!

"You already know the ultimate destination of your journey: your entrance into heaven. So keep your focus on the path just before you, leaving outcomes up to Me" Nov 19th Devotion from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.

A few notes on "Planning" from the book of Proverbs:

"For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths." Proverbs 5:21

"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21

"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty." Proverbs 21:5

"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth." Proverbs 27:1

We have to remember that these are observations...reality, not promises from the Bible. Our actions have consequences.


So, be sure to pray before making plans...and continue to pray!

Finished a good book recently: WHO  by Geoff Smart and Randy Street.

"The most important decisions that business people make are not what decisions but who decisions." -Jim Collins, Author of Good To Great.

That also goes for non profit organizations!
 Good book: Good to Great in the Social Sector. by Jim Collins

WHO
WHAT
HOW

It's relatively easy to figure out What to do and also How to do something.

Maybe a more important decision is WHY we do what we do.
What are our motives? Have we sought the LORD on what we plan to do?

Then the rest becomes easy.

A good book for figuring that out is " Start With Why by Simon Sinek.

If you don't know WHY, You can't know HOW.

"All great leaders have clarity of WHY; an undying belief in a purpose or cause bigger than themselves. It's not Bill Gates's passion for computers that inspires us, it's his undying optimism that even the most complicated problems can be solved. He believes we can find ways to remove obstacles to ensure that everyone can live and worked to their greatest potential. It is his optimism to which we are drawn." P. 134

“If the leader of the organization can’t clearly articulate WHY the organization exists in terms beyond its products or services, then how does he expect the employees to know WHY to come to work?”
― Simon Sinek, Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action

Let me know your thoughts!
Have a great day!
