I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN!
I Didn’t Ask to be born!!
By Liz King
There IS A PURPOSE for EVERYONE’s Existence! Years ago I felt so depressed and useless that I asked God, “Why did you make me? I didn’t ask to be born!! There is no purpose for me. I’m nothing but a mistake! No one cares for me. I’m useless!!” This is how many people feel I think who feel lost or hurt, but as I surrendered, I realized how wrong I was!
We are created for a purpose! Ephesians 2:10 New Living Translation
“10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
Psalms 139:16 New Living Translation
“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”
We have more worth to the God of creation that we can’t even imagine what he has waiting for us!! You were purposefully made by the greatest artist in existence!
Psalm 139:13-14 New Living Translation
“13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”
If God says you are his workmanship, his special design, how can you be a mistake???!! He designed you uniquely with every gift, talent, passions, and heart he wanted you to have because you are meant to do great things in his kingdom.
You have an identity in him! You have to look for it! You have worth in him! You have to understand it and believe it!!!! If I stayed in that mentality I would not be writing! I would not be using my camera to show his love and glory! I would not be there for my husband, children, friends, and church. If I had committed suicide in 1996 I would not have had my children that God had a purpose for. I do not know what I am doing for his kingdom but that day I go before his throne I'll get to see what he did through me. I just want to be used by him. He is worth it. He is so awesome and he chose me and he chose you! Ephesians 1,2, and 3 remind us how special we are and who we are in him. You have worth, you are not a mistake, you have value!
Luke 12:6-7
“What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.”
Jesus loves you so much, he paid the ultimate price for you!!!
1 John 4:9
“9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
These verses are from God’s own word and he cannot lie!!! YOU HAVE WORTH! You have value!! He died for your value!! He saw his life less important because he saw the value in you! You have an eternal value!! You were designed for a purpose!! Satan wants to destroy that purpose. He destroys us when we are young. I believe that. He preys on the young to destroy them from their purpose. He wants to emotionally cripple us to where we become unusable!!! We become trapped in the pain and are unable to see outside ourselves, unable to see the promises and plans God designed for us!!
Jesus can heal you, give you purpose. He can help you see your worth. He will crawl down in the pit and the valley to pick you up and carry you out!! Trust me I know!! I met Jesus in 1996 when I was about to commit suicide and I called out one more time and he saved me! 12 years later, I would go through a trial where I felt like giving up was the only option and the questions of why began to consume my mind!
Depression is real, it is not something you can just pop out of. It can be debilitating and cause you to live in defeat. We often look to and at ourselves and trapping that feeling or lies within. We forget who God says we are.
John 3:16 New Living Translation
“16 For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
Romans 5:5 New Living Translation
“5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
Remember we serve a warrior king!!! Jesus is the only king who left his kingdom and die for his people. He left his throne for you!! He died for you dirt, filth, muck, pain, trauma, helplessness, and hopelessness! Everything you say you’re not, he says you are!! He says you are loved, you are redeemed, you are special, you have worth, you are desired, adored, but most of all you are not a mistake. He created you for a specific purpose. So let us see and live in that purpose!! Let him restore you, heal, and love you! He has his kingdom for you at his disposal! He wants to bless you with that. You will suffer trials but you won’t face them alone. When you begin to sink in despair, look up! Reach for him! He is more than faithful.
Remember the battle is God’s if you give him your battles. Let him fight for you. Walk behind him. He will be your protection. If he can destroy death, hang the solar system, speak you and the world INTO EXISTENCE, he can fight your battles a lot better than you can. You just have to surrender and give it to him. He will lead you where he wants you to go! He will set you up on the mountain top! So put on your armor and prepare for battle because he has given you heavenly weapons and call out the name of Jesus because everything on heaven and earth is subject to THAT NAME!
Ephesians 6:10-18 New Living Translation
The Whole Armor of God
“10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.[b] 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[c] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”
KNOW YOUR VALUE, KNOW YOUR WORTH!!
If God thought you were worth dying for and satan thinks you’re so important he lies to you and tries to destroy you, you must have an amazing purpose so FIGHT FOR YOUR PURPOSE!!
Joshua 1:9
"This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord, your God is with you wherever you go." (NLT)
JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!
YOU ARE NOT alone!! He is waiting for your call because he is a gentleman! He does not push himself on you. He waits for you to call out to him.
YOU WERE BORN FOR A PURPOSE!
