To Each and Every Dear Child:
Conception begins in the mind of GOD. Conception begins when your creator, GOD of all that is, decides you will be created; when he conceives of the idea of you and He declares that you will be made in His image- meaning that you will bear the stamp of His authorship. You are invaluable and you are without exception given as a blessing, and you are to be received as a blessing.
Whether or not you remain a blessing, is in part due to our response to the gift of you and in part according to your response to GOD. These things are true. It does not matter what alternative information is perpetuated by the world system, for GOD who owns all that is, has declared these things to be true and nothing can change the truth.
This world is corrupt; it is the furthest thing from the goodness of GOD. This world is ultimately governed by evil; its ruler is Satan, The Prince of The Air and the one who ushered death into the world- and from him you may expect nothing but lies. He will often mix truth together with lie- the better to deceive you! He is opposed to your creator. He has been a liar and a murderer from the beginning. Do not listen to him, as he will lead you to your own destruction while nearly always behaving as though he is the best thing available to you and has only your best interest at heart.
But there is hope! To combat the bombardment of lies, you must remember who you are! You are a beautiful work of art- conceptualized, designed, and brought forth by GOD! As you journey here, in this fallen world, seek the one who created you; seek and you will find. Become a child of His salvation. HE is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. The Bible tells me so, and I have found Him. You can find Him, too. Reach out to God through sincere prayer, confess your need for a savior to deliver you from your sin and your faith that Jesus Christ is God’s son sent to earth to do that very thing, believe and be saved (be justified), then He will begin to move you forward in obedience to His Word (begin to be sanctified). GOD is the great lover of your soul, and the only one in whom you will discover your extraordinary meaning and purpose; your true and wonderful life (be glorified)!
