Psalm 139:14 (NLT) Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Psalm 135:15 (NLT) You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
Psalm 139:16 (NLT) You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out.
You weren’t an accident. You were intentionally woven together by your Creator God.
“The two most important days in your life are the day you’re born and the day you find out why.” – Mark Twain.

You are most fulfilled making a difference in someone else’s life.
Your life will only be as successful as the cause you attach it to. -
