January 12

Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations”. Jeremiah 1:5 (AMPC)

Jeremiah was a prophet of God, chosen and sent to speak God’s heart to the nations. God saw him before he was born and set him apart for something special. Dear one, how exciting it is to know that you are no different in any way than Jeremiah was—in how you were created, by God alone, or in your call and purpose here on earth! You too were formed in the womb by the hand of God, loved by Him before there was time, and born into the world as a gift.

There is something so special, so unique about who you are, and about all that God has set apart and called you to—something that no one else could ever do—for it was meant for wonderfully, beautifully made, you. 

You are a rare treasure, one of a kind, formed and fashioned by the hand of a caring God, Who loves you deeply, completely, sincerely. The world is a better place because you are in it, precious one. It’s true! The pain of your past can’t change this reality nor the uncertainty of the future disqualify you. Celebrate instead who you are and all that the Lord has called and designed for you to be and to do!

Embrace His goodness and His grace. Don’t worry about what may limit you but accept instead His unlimited ability, power, and strength, which is fully available to you. He will never call you to anything He has not already provided the resources for, and He will never call you to anything He does not already know, that together, you can achieve!

You’ve got this, precious one, and He’s got you!

Prayer:

Dearest Father, thank You for the plans and purposes You ordained for me from the beginning of time. I was in Your heart then Lord, and I will always be.

For any ways I have strayed or been led astray from the path You have chosen for me, I am asking in Your goodness and grace, that You forgive me, and lead me back to Your perfect path of peace.

Arrange my moments Lord, and my days, so that I can be in the centre of Your divine will; the place You designed for me to be; walking in the fullness of all You have for me. 

To live and move and have my being in You Father, safe in the strength of Your arms, is where I so long to be. 

In Jesus Holy and Precious Name, I pray. ​
