ON PURPOSE

May 31 – June 6 Family Devotions
Part 1

These short devotions are from Sally Lloyd-Jones’ book, “Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing.”

Week of May 31 – June 6

Theme: ON PURPOSE

Read:

Did you just end up here on earth? Was it all an accident?

The Bible says it wasn’t a mistake or an accident. It was a plan.

You didn’t just end up here. God put you here on purpose.

God wanted you here, and he had to have you here right now. Becuase he has a wonderful plan for you—something that only you can do.

Every single thing about you—the color of your eyes, your name, what you love, every day you will live—God knew before time began.

Even before you were born, he loved you. You began in God’s heart.

You are his. Made by him. Made for him.

“You saw my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me… before I was one day old”
—Psalm 139.16

Discussion

Do you think God makes mistakes?

If God made all of us on purpose and absolutely loves what he made, should we love ourselves and others too?

Family Project

Choose something to make together on purpose (and do it). Like chocolate chip cookies or ice cream sundaes or Rice Krispie treats.
