Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
—Jeremiah 1:5
Think of it: God not only knows what is going on in your life right now, but He knew all about you even before you were born. In fact, He gave you life and put you on this earth. You are not here by accident; you are here by His design!
The same is true of every human being; every person on this earth (even those not yet born) is important in the eyes of God. Don’t ever scorn someone because they are different from you or ignore them when they suffer. God calls them valuable—so valuable that His Son gave His life for them. Human life is sacred, and we must never lose sight of that fact.
But look again at what God said to Jeremiah. Not only did God know him and put him on earth—but He put him here for a purpose: “I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” The same is true of you. Have you asked God to show you His purpose in putting you here—and are you seeking to fulfill it?
