God placed a 3.2-billion letter code inside every cell of your body. Scientists mapped it (the human genome) but many still cannot explain the Author behind it. Inside your DNA is the full instruction manual for building you. If stretched out, the DNA in your body would reach to the sun and back dozens of times. Francis Collins, who led the Human Genome Project, famously described DNA as “the language of God. For years, scientists labeled most of DNA as “junk.” But over time, researchers discovered that strand after strand carried purpose and function they previously overlooked. What they once dismissed… turned out to be intentional.
Every letter.
Every strand.
Every detail.
And maybe that points to something deeper: You were never an accident either. 👑 Designed with purpose. Created with intention.
