Created for Purpose -- October 1, 2009

Often I strain and climb


and struggle to lay hold


of everything I'm certain


You have planned for me.


And nothing happens:


there comes no answer.


Only You reach down to me


just where I am.


When You give me no answer


to my questions,


still I have only to raise my arms


to You, my Father


and then You lift me up.


Then because You are my Father


You speak these words of truth


to my heart:





'You are not an accident.


Even at the moment of your conception,


out of many possibilities,


only certain cells combined,


survived, grew to be you.


You are unique.


You were created for a purpose.


God loves you.'
