Created for a purpose !

Galatians 1.15 - But God in his grace chose me even before I was born and called me to serve him (BFC).

Beloved, if Paul could say that, if Isaiah could say the same (Isaiah 49.1), or even Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1.5) and David (Psalms 139.16)... it means that it is the same for you and me !

The Lord has done everything for a purpose, says Proverb 16.4. You were designed for a very specific purpose. It doesn't matter whether you were wanted or not by your biological parents, you were wanted by the Heavenly Father. He already knew what He wanted to do with you before you existed ; is He not the One who calls things which are not as if they were (Romans 4:17).

The question that arises is : "If so, why all these setbacks ? Why have we come close to death several times ? Why is "life" so hard on us ?".

If the Lord has chosen us for a specific purpose, and this is the case, He wants to train us, and let us recognize that He watches over us as the apple of His eye ! All these difficulties have only one goal, to make us capable of loving ! Love God and our neighbor. Each suffering, each trial, each failure prepares you to be “the hand” of God in the service of others. Have you experienced rejection ? After having consoled you, the Lord will make you the instrument of his consolation for the rejected. Have you experienced injustice ? God will make you the defender of the oppressed ! Have you experienced divorce, abandonment, illness, "free fall", violence, depression... God will make you the specialist in this field to show his grace to those who are going through the same difficulties than you !

My beloved, we were not born to miss our destiny. The devil lied to us too much with his "you are worth nothing", "you are not useful", don't you think ? Even if you live in failure, whatever it is, now is a good time to get up ! Let us not let all this training potential be lost, let us return to our Father with all our heart and become his "outstretched hand" for this "poor" humanity !

Good reflection, with all my compassion.
