Recorder of Truth

A few posts back I was laboring over the what and why's of my blog. This morning in my devotional time God gave me a verse that brings things back into focus... and it's always exciting to me when God speaks to my heart!!

From Jeremiah 1:4-5: The Lord gave me a message. He said, "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesperson to the world."

While these words are obviously to the prophet Jeremiah, as he is being called by God, are we not all called by God for some specific purpose? Did He not know us before He formed us? And did He not form each one of us in our mother's womb? Each one of us is stamped with our own personal DNA and as Christ followers that DNA has specific purposes built into it. So, am I not also set apart and appointed by God for the specific work He has for me? And as a follower of Christ, am I not also appointed to be a spokesperson to the world about what My God has done for me and can also do for you?

Through my writing I can be a spokesperson to the world. A Recorder of Truth.

This isn't a brand new thought by any means. It was just a fresh reminder of my purpose. So I am enthused and grateful for the reminder and the affirmation. And if any of you fellow bloggers for the faith struggle with occasional doubts about what you are doing in your blog, I hope this will encourage you as well....

Blessings,
