While you were yet in your mother's womb, He had a divine purpose and a strategic plan for your life. You are not here by accident or coincidence; you are here by God's amazing grace. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, ' says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." "You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you." (John 15:16) In other words, I (the Lord) hand-picked, carefully selected, and intentionally singled you out in spite of your imperfections, faults, dysfunctions or your past. You need to know that your history does not determine your destiny. God can raise up a drug dealer, a substance abuser, a prostitute, an unbeliever, or even a career criminal. He can place His anointing upon their lives and empower them to do what He has already predestined. When God gets ready to use or bless you, He doesn't need the approval of others. He just does it because He can. The Lord takes pride in choosing and using the most unlikely people (including those who have been rejected, mistreated, misunderstood, looked-over, picked-over, stepped-over, kicked-to-the-curb, or thrown-under-the-bus, and considered by others to be of little value) to prove that God, and God alone, has the power to change a life and let the world know that He considers YOU His Chosen Vessel! Matthew 20:16 says, "So the last shall be first, and the first last: For MANY are called, but few are CHOSEN.
