The document is a response to someone saying they feel like a mistake and that no one loves them. It summarizes that: 1) While the person's parents may not have planned them, God did - he knew them and planned their life long before they were born. 2) God specifically created them, determined where and when they would be born, and made no mistakes. 3) God created them because he loves them and had them in mind even before the world was created.

1. A person says to you,
“I am a mistake, an accident,
my parents never planned or
wanted me. No-one loves me or
cares for me. I am a failure. My
life is worthless and
meaningless.”
What would you say to them?

2. You Are Not an
Accident
What on earth am I here for?
Section 2 (Page 22-26)

3. “I am your Creator. You were in My
care even before you were born.”
Isaiah 44:2a (CEV)

4. •Your parents might not have planned
you - but God did, you were in God’s
mind long ago.
•God was not at all surprised by your
birth. In fact, He expected it.
•You are alive because God wanted to
create you!

5. “The Lord wi$ fulfi$ His purpose
for me.”
Ps. 138:8a (NIV)

6. •He knows you because He
prescribed you - every detail of your
body, your talents, your race, your
personality.
•He planned when you would be born
- all your days in advance.
•He planned where you’d be born -for
his purpose.

7. •He planned how you’d be born
•God does not make mistakes - there
are no accidents
•God’s motive for making - His Love -
in fact he was thinking about you
before the foundation of the world

8. “You know me inside and out, you
know every bone in my body; You
know exactly how I was made, bit
by bit, how I was sculpted 'om
nothing into something.”
Ps. 139:15 (Msg)

9. “You saw me before I
was born and
scheduled each day of
my life before I began
to breathe. Everyday
was recorded in your
Book.”
Ps. 139:16 (LB)

10. “From one man He made every
nation….and He determined the
times set for them and the exact
places where they should live.”
Acts 17.36 (NIV)

11. “Long before he laid down earth’s
foundations, he had us in mind, had
settled on us as the focus of his love”
Eph 1:4 (TM)

12. God is not haphazard - he plans with
great precision - in fact as scientists
learn more they realise that the
specifications of earth are exact for
making life possible.
Why did God do this?
Because he is a God of love.

14. The complexity of our planet points
to a deliberate Designer who not
only created our universe, but
sustains it today.

15. The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's
size and corresponding gravity holds a thin
layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only
extending about 50 miles above the Earth's
surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere
would be impossible, like the planet Mercury.
If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would
contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter. Earth is the
only known planet equipped with an
atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to
sustain plant, animal and human life.

16. The Earth is located the right distance from
the sun. Consider the temperature swings we
encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If
the Earth were any further away from the sun, we
would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up.
Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position
to the sun would make life on Earth impossible.
The Earth remains this perfect distance from the
sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of
nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis,
allowing the entire surface of the Earth to be
properly warmed and cooled every day.

18. And our moon is the perfect size
and distance from the Earth for its
gravitational pull. The moon creates
important ocean tides and
movement so ocean waters do not
stagnate, and yet our massive oceans
are restrained from spilling over
across the continents.

20. “God is love”
1 John 4:8 (NIV)
What does it tell you of God’s
character?

21. “I have carried you since you were
born; I have taken care of you 'om
your birth. Even when you are old,
I wi$ be the same. Even when your
hair has turned gray, I wi$ take
care of you. I made you and wi$
take care of you.”
Isaiah 46:3-4 (NCV)

22. The Message paraphrase of Romans
12:3 says,
“ The only accurate way to
understand ourselves is by what
God is and by what He does for us.”

23. “For I made them for My glory; I
created them .”
Isaiah 43:7(TLB)

24. Point to Ponder:
I am not an accident

25. Verse to remember: Isaiah 44:2
Thus says the LORD who made you,
who formed you from the womb and
will help you:
Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
Jeshurun whom I have chosen.

26. Question to Consider:
Knowing that God uniquely created
me, what areas of my personality,
background, and physical
appearance am I struggling to
accept?
