JUST THINK,

• Youre here not by chance, but by Gods choosing.
  His hand formed you and made you the person you
  are. He compares you to no one else you are one
  of a kind. You lack nothing that His grace cant
  give you. He has allowed you to be here at this
  time in history to fulfill His special purpose
  for this generation.
