Set Apart by Our Creator

Jeremiah 1:5

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.

As it was with Jeremiah, so it is with each of us.  God created us and has a plan for our lives.  He has set us apart to serve Him in a way that only we can do because of the unique nature and capabilities that He has given to each of us.  God draws each of us into a relationship with Him so that we can understand what He has prepared us to do.  We do the things that we are called to do in response to the outpouring of love that we receive from Our Creator.

As we grow in our loving relationship with Our Heavenly Father, our primary focus needs to be on finding the answer to the question, "why was I created?", and responding accordingly.  The good news is that we do not have to answer the question nor respond on our own.  Our Heavenly Father has given us a Helper to guide us through the process of finding and accepting the calling that He has placed on our lives.  As long as we set aside time to be in the presence of Almighty God and surrender to the urgings of the Holy Spirit, we will discover our "why" and rejoice in our opportunity to serve Our King.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for creating us to fill a specific need on this earth and in Your eternal kingdom.  We thank You for providing a Helper to guide us in finding and following the path that You have set aside for us.  We pray, Lord, that the Holy Spirit will help us to dig deep into our relationship with you.  May the Holy Spirit show us the special things that you have created us to do in Your Name.  We ask, Lord, that you teach us how to become vessels of the perfect love and forgiveness that you have poured into our lives.  May it all be done in the name of, Jesus, the One who redeemed us so that we could one day be designated as good and faithful servants.
