Day 2 of PDL - You Are Not An Accident (Ade's response)
Hi Jiam,
Here are my thoughts about Day 2's reading. And some of the stuff that I copied from the book as well.
Point to Ponder: I am not an accident
1) Long before you were conceived by my parents, you were conceived in the mind of God.
2) While there are illegitimate parents, there are no illegitimate children. And the poem bit about family.
The parents you have are the ones that He chose, no matter how I feel about them. The family unit is so crucial in God's eyes. I need to love my parents because they were custom-designed with God's plan in mind and they bear the Master's seal.
3) God's purpose took into account human error and even sin.
That made me realize how much God abhors abortion because He had a purpose for every child conceived. That made me question: what about those children who do not get born? What happens to them? What was God's purpose in those cases?
4) God is love. Love is the essence of God's character.
5) No matter how I am shaped, God meant for it to be that way, and I will grow in His likeness.
Question to consider: Knowing that God uniquely created me, what areas of my personality, background and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?
- That I'm too outspoken and blunt. I come across as harsh to people who do not know me well.
- That I'm getting old and no guy seems to be in sight.
- That I'm hunched and I have a minor skin problem.
- That I have low self-esteem and need the approval of men.
But I will trust that God made me unique for a purpose and God will use all of this for a purpose! =) I want to say that He has made me a perfect unique design. =)
Will blog Day 3 later. Gotta go read it now again...
Looking forward to seeing you later and watching anime with you....
