(Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Our Identity is important to God. This verse confirms to me that He knew Jeremiah before he was even born. He made Jeremiah the person that he was to be while he was still in the womb. Praise be to God! He loved Jeremiah the way He formed him in the womb.
Each person is their own individual. There are NO two people alike on this earth.
This doesn’t mean, though, that we shouldn’t change some things about ourselves, because when God’s word is working in us, we will change!
Each one of us has unique talents, gifts, and traits about ourselves that no one else has. This is a good thing and it makes life exciting!
When we are being taught by someone, for example, a Minister, Pastor, Priest, Teacher, etc. we take what we learn and apply the teachings to ourselves, individually. It adds to our person. But that doesn’t mean we have to be like that person who is teaching us, or do things the way that person does them.
We allow God to fix us, clean us out, and tweak us through His word, while still holding on to the person that we are, our identity, that thing that makes us unique.
We cannot throw out our identity to become someone else. We have to be the person God made us to be today and be thankful!!
