My God Created You

God Made You from the Beginning — Find Him, Know Him, He Is Waiting for You

By Laudiaann Sylvest

Before you even took your first breath, God already knew you. He formed you with intention, care, and love. Every detail of who you are—your personality, your talents, your appearance, even the exact time and place of your birth—was designed by Him. You are not an accident, and your life is not random. From the very beginning, God had a plan for you.

I often think about what Psalm 139:16 says: “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” That means God has been with you from the start, writing your story before you even knew Him.

God Wants You to Know Him

God isn’t distant, hiding in the shadows, or too busy to care about you. He is close—closer than you can imagine. And He’s been waiting for you to turn toward Him. No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or how far you think you’ve drifted, His arms are still open wide.

Finding God begins with seeking Him with your whole heart. Jeremiah 29:13 promises, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” He’s not playing hide-and-seek with your soul. He’s been calling you, drawing you, and patiently waiting for you to answer.

Knowing Him Changes Everything

When you truly know God—not just know about Him—you begin to see life differently. Your identity becomes rooted in His love, not in people’s opinions or life’s ups and downs. You realize you’re here for a reason. Your steps have purpose because they are guided by His wisdom.

Knowing God brings peace in the storm, hope in the darkest moments, and joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances. It also brings a deep sense of belonging—you finally understand you are part of something eternal, something far greater than yourself.

He’s Waiting for You Right Now

You don’t have to wait until you feel “good enough” to come to Him. Jesus already paid the price for your sins on the cross. All you need to do is come—just as you are. Pray, talk to Him, read His Word, and open your heart.

If you’ve been searching for meaning, longing for peace, or wondering if your life matters, I want you to know: God made you, He loves you, and He’s been waiting for you from the very beginning.

Today could be the start of a whole new chapter in your life—a chapter where you finally walk hand in hand with the One who created you.
