📖 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart.”

— Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)

🟡 What does this mean?

This verse tells us that God knew us and loved us even before we were born.

We are not here by chance: we have a special purpose that God planned for us from the beginning.

Each one is part of His plan, and He created us with love and care to fulfill it.

🧠 Let's think for a moment

Can you imagine that God already knew your name before your parents chose it?

He knows everything about you: your likes, your dreams, and what you can become.

Even though sometimes we don’t know what our path is, God has already seen it and wants to guide us step by step.

🙌 What can we do today?

Giving thanks to God because He made us with a purpose

Believing that our life has value and meaning

Praying that God shows us how to serve Him

Not comparing ourselves to others, because our calling is unique

💬 Phrase to remember

👉 God knew me and loved me before I was born.

🙏 Final prayer

Lord, thank you because you have known me since before I was born. Thank you because you made me with a special purpose. Help me to trust in your plan for my life and to always walk in your hand. Amen. 🙏
