“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb .… Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:13, 16 NIV)
Your life matters. We all want to
believe that — no matter what religious background we come from. Even atheists
long to know their lives count for something.
The Bible says your life matters
because God uniquely designed you. In Psalm 139 the Bible says,“For you
created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb .… Your eyes
saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:13, 16 NIV).
God made you unique because he has a unique
plan for your life. He personally oversaw your creation because he had
something for you to do that only you can do. Your parents may not have planned
you, but God did.
God has set you apart for a special
use. How do we know this?
