We have often wondered at how people can grow up in the same environment yet be so different. Personality, gifts, talents, interests, academics, physical appearance, and other features and attributes can be so varied -- even among siblings and cousins.
God made each one special and unique. And He is interested in everything about us. See what the Bible has to say: in Psalm 139:
". . .you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
Our God knows ALL things, even before they happen. And He knew us before we were even conceived. What an awesome thought.
Is there any wonder that the ONE who formed us, made us, and loves us is interested in every aspect of our lives? That, my friends should give us peace and confidence.
Sometimes we think of a child, grandchild, or other loved one or friend and we become worried about his or her well-being. And we have to remind ourselves that GOD loves them more than we do. And we can trust Him to work in their lives.
Romans 8:32 comes to mind. "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?"
Cling to this thought with confidence that our Lord is in control and He loves us "with an everlasting love":
