I LOVE this verse....
Thursday, January 15, 2009Look at this verse I saw.... it is the calling of Jeremiah, Jeremiah 1:5--->
- 4.
- The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
- 5.
- "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
- 6.
- "Ah, Sovereign Lord," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."
- 7.
- But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.
- 8.
- Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the Lord.
- 9.
- Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth

I clicked on that True Campaign button and wow...I'm so so so glad that something like that exists. I am a big fan of Constance Rhodes. Her book had a huge impact on me, and we actually emailed for while a few years ago when I was running a recovery oriented message board for Christian girls with eating disorders. Thanks for linking to the website. It's definitely something I want to be involved with.
ReplyDeleteBTW...I like this verse too. In my group of friends we'd have an argument over whether or not it implies predestination, but I really love what it says about God knowing us intimately.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'd love to hear from you!
