Jeremiah 1:5 (MSG) “Before I shaped you in the womb,
I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day,
I had holy plans for you:
A prophet to the nations--
that’s what I had in mind for you.”
I knew all about you.

Acts 10:34 (KJV) "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
God called you and I just like He did Jeremiah to a particular people, place and purpose. The only way to find those people, that place and the purpose is to find God. We don't have to look for Him because He is always calling us to Himself. He stands and knocks at the door of our hearts. All we need to do is open the door and let Him in.
God shapes us. HE is the potter and we are the clay and He never throws the clay away. No matter what we have done He refuses to trash us. Instead He molds us and makes us into the vessel He wants us to be. We may have to be squeezed and crushed and go around on the potters wheel many times but He will not throw us away. He shapes us. HE may use people to do this. It may be uncomfortable. It may be that we try to run but in the end God will continue to have His way. He knows all about us.
The Lord God Almighty has holy plans for you. Not just a plan and a purpose for which He formed you in your mothers womb but they are holy plans. He created you for good. He created you with what He wanted you to do long before you saw the light of day.
Then.....here is the nugget. He gave you away before you were born. Just like He gave Jesus away God gives us away. Imagine the love of a father for the world that would shape sons and daughters and for the purpose of giving them away. God so loved He gave.
For what people, place and purpose were you formed, shaped and called? Only the Master knows the plan and that plan can be found in His Word. Read the book. That's where Jesus found His purpose and you will too.

Luke 4:18-22 (KJV)18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
