“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
(Jeremiah 1:5 NIV)

These were the very words Jeremiah heard God say to him. Can we even imagine? And these are the very words each of us, as we listen attentively, will hear the Father say to us, “I knew you. I have set you apart. I have appointed a task, a position just for you.”

But what does that mean?

He formed each one of us.

The word formed is used to create the image of a potter and clay. He fashions it, creates it with a particular and specific purpose in mind. Since He has a specific purpose in mind for each one of us, He creates us with specific talents to fulfill those very purposes. He forms us and equips us. This is why each of us is living in the time frame and in the very place we find ourselves.

We are …

living in the town,

working in the job,

married to the person,

attending the church,

raising those children,

participating in a particular ministry,

in that small group,

not by accident but by His design. You are the only one who can do what you do. You are the only you this world has got.

But there is more.  I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE. Let’s change our perspective and begin to thrive right where we find ourselves.
