“Your Life Is a Gift”
by Dona Hake
Did you know that your life is a gift from God and you are a gift to people around you? God saw a plan for your life before you were even born. When He created you within the womb of your mother, He saw purpose, He saw a future for you, and He has wonderful plans for you to fulfill.
Psalm 139:14 (GW)
“I will give thanks to you
because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made.
Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this.”
Now I want to add to this thought for you to ponder….stop and look around at all the gifts the Lord has placed in your life. They are those precious family members, friends, and co-workers in the faith. Let us thank our loving God for those that are assigned to walk along side of us in this life. He has put people in our life to help us to do His will, and encourage our hearts. Let us keep an awareness that the real gifts in this life are not those that come in boxes with beautiful bows but those precious people that He has called along side of us to do His will, and help us when we need help!
Today I encourage you to stop and give thanks for the life and breath that He has given you. You are a gift and your life is to be given as a gift to those around you. May we live our life in a manner of giving and pouring our to those around us. If you do not know you purpose, then simply ask Him. He is faithful to bring us answers as well as direction and instruction. Also, stop and think about all the special people that are in your life…now give thanks to God for them.♥
