With so many suicides, so many addictions, so many people with deep depressions, with so many abortions, we need to remind ourselves of this statement from Pope Benedict XVI. "Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary.” 

If I embrace this truth of revelation, then I will live in relationship with God in such a way as to fulfill my purpose for existence. I am a child of God. I must never forget this. For when I do then my whole existence is jeopardized. I will not have a point of reference, which is my relationship with God. Lord, thank you for willing me into existence as your child, loved and necessary.
