Fearfully And Wonderfully Made

"You have formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:13-14)

The Bible tells us that each child is specially made by GOD and He has a plan for each one. Only GOD can create a soul and no one can force Him to do it. No child is ever an accident. Today we celebrate the birthday of Saint John the Baptist who is a prophet and the cousin of Jesus. His special mission was to prepare the world for the arrival of Jesus Christ.

Each of us is a saint in the making, created to be so like Saint John even in our mother's womb, each meant to speak and live lives that pave a way for Jesus Christ into the hearts of others.

Let us form our young ones not to be influenced by materialism, immorality and less value driven beings but to be holy children, not to be wealthy but happy, not to be senators but saints intended to be jewels that adorn GOD's crown of infinite beauty.
