The Call of Jeremiah

In the first book of Jeremiah we read the words below;

⁴ "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

⁵ "Before I formed you in the womb I knew ^{a]" style="line-height: 0.5em; ">[a]} you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

It is easy to believe that this "call" was just for Jeremiah. The truth of the matter is, God knew each of us before he formed the world. That means that each one of us is special. We all each have a purpose in this world. It may not seem possible because we live in a very busy, complex, and at times violent world. We often may question, "What is my purpose? How can I make a difference in a positive way?" The answer is through Christ and his word. The key thing to remember is once you have done your best, you leave the rest up to God. There will be times that you give 100% and it seems like nothing is going right, and you get so discouraged, that you just want to quit. When those times come, step back, and let God step in. If we could do it all, we wouldn't need God. You are special, what you say and do matters, remember who you are, and bless someone else just by being who God created you to be.
