For You formed my inward parts;<\/span>
\nY<\/span>ou knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
\n<\/span><\/span>I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.<\/span><\/span>
\nWonderful are Your works;\u00a0<\/span>my soul knows it very well.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nMy frame was not hidden from You\u00a0<\/span>when I was being made in secret,<\/span><\/span>
\nintricately woven in the depths of the earth.<\/span><\/span>
\nYour eyes saw my unformed substance;<\/span>
\nin Your Book were written, every one of them,<\/span>
\nthe days that were formed for me,<\/span><\/span>
\nwhen as yet there was none of them.
\nPsalms 139:13-16<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0\u271e \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine—God created you and me when we were in our mother’s wombs. \u00a0He knew what trials and victories we would go through. \u00a0He just leaves the response…and the outcome…up to us. \u00a0But sometimes, it takes us stepping out in faith. \u00a0Mark wrote,<\/p>\n

All things are possible to him who believes.
\nMark 9:23<\/p>\n

Do we believe? \u00a0Do we have faith? \u00a0You may not right now. \u00a0You may have to make baby steps to forming your faith in God.<\/p>\n

Faith comes through walking out what we believe. \u00a0When a decision seems tough and we are not sure what is going on, we must walk it out. We should not hide and hope it goes away. \u00a0Ignoring the issue will not help our developing trust that God would not forsake us.<\/p>\n

Just as the potter makes vessel of various sizes and shapes, God makes us in the same way. \u00a0His Creation begins at conception and He watches as we grow and mature. \u00a0As we age physically, God wants us to mature spiritually, believing He wants what is best for us.<\/p>\n

Believe on the Lord with all your heart.
\nGod has you in His hands.<\/h4>\n

* \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0\u271e \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n
