Founded

You are an absolute treasure.

God created you with a foundation of great love. 

He established your very essence with precision and uniqueness.  

Nowhere on this Earth is there another creature precisely like you. 

I mean, you really should have a bronze plaque with your name and origin date etched on it. People would undoubtedly hop on tour buses to drive by and admire your awesomeness.  

You are kind of a big deal, you know.

Fill in the blanks:

________ (First Name) ________ (Last Name) was founded on __________ (Month) __ (Day), (____) Year.

This was the beginning of you, and you were made with miraculous intention.

Angels announced your arrival with great joy and triumphant songs.  

You are such a wonderful gift to the world, my darling. I wish you could see you the way God sees you!  

The distinctive and miraculous qualities, strengths, and gifts embedded in your DNA are still within you.

No matter how far you have roamed or how many times you have altered yourself, you are still YOU.

You have some time before another date is etched upon that plaque.  

What happens before that date is up to you. 

A dear friend suggested we write our own eulogies now to uncover what really matters to us and what legacy we want to leave behind.

Such a good idea!

Make sure you start it off this way:

____ _____ was founded in great love. 

You were established in love and founded with purpose. Remind yourself who and whose you are, and focus on what really matters as you live out the rest of your incredible life.

Don't waste another second trying to be someone or something else.  

Go forth on this day with your head held so high, knowing you were established and founded by God - the creator of the universe.   

He knows the real you because He made you. And oh man, does He love you.

God founded you and will always find you, no matter how far you go, and He is never, ever, going to let you go.

Psalm 139:14

For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.

I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being formed in secret,

and intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were appointed for me, when as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.

When I awake, I am still with You.
