The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying “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.” Jeremiah 1:5

My brothers and sisters in Christ, all of us were called by God for a specific purpose. He set us apart for his own work. Now, when God was ready to begin a work in Jeremiah, he was still a child, and he was fearful, and he said, “Ah, Lord God, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!” But the Lord said to Jeremiah, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.”  Whatever God commands us to do, we must go willingly, for he is able.
