There are no illegitimate children.
Every single child — every one — was thought about by God before they ever drew their first breath. He knew you from your mother's womb. He knew the circumstances of your birth, the home you would be born into, the time and place you would arrive. And He still said yes to you.
No matter what the circumstances of your conception or birth, the Lord knew all about it — and He still loved you and wanted you here. You are not an accident. You are not a surprise to God. You are not a problem that needed to be managed. You are a person He planned.
Fearfully and wonderfully made. Let that settle in. The same God who shaped the mountains and set the stars in place took time to form you — and called it marvelous.
You were not a mistake. You were a masterpiece in progress.
You are known. You are wanted. You are His.
