<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just saw a post online that makes those of us who choose to believe the Bible is God's inspired Word out to be ignorant.

Do you ever wonder why you are here or why now? I think we all do at some point in our lives. I put up my new wall calendar yesterday and the cardboard insert caught my attention. The calendar is made by DaySpring and the insert contains this message by DaySpring co-founder, Roy Lessin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Just think,</b> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>you're here not by chance, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>but by God's choosing.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>His hand formed you</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and made you</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>the person you are.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He compares you to no one else--</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>you are one of a kind.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>You lack nothing </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>that His grace can't give you.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He has allowed you to be here</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>at this time in history</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to fulfill His special purpose</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>for this generation.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does that make you feel special, loved and appreciated? I hope so because you are!</div>
