Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. It’s a new day of a new week and I was excited to meet with the Living God to see what He has for me for such a time as this. It’s one thing to Believe that God loves you, it’s an entirely different story to Know that He has a Specific Purpose for your Life that ONLY YOU can fulfill! I didn’t choose Him…He chose me, and He’s been Readying me for such a time as this my entire life. As I watched the wind shake the Fall leaves from the trees and carry them off to a place where I’ll never see them again, I was reminded of how that’s the way it is with this life. No matter how much time we’re allotted on this earth, it’s not much time at all in the Bigger Picture…and when our time is up we’re carried off like the leaves are…never to be seen here on earth again. That’s not something to be sad about, it’s something to get busy about!

We can go through this life believing that we can be replaced BUT we stand the risk of overlooking our Importance when we do. We can be replaced at work. We can be replaced at school. We can be replaced on a ball field. We can be replaced on a stage or in a film or in a pulpit. We can even be replaced at home as one parent introduces their children to a “new” mom or dad as if parents are interchangeable. We’re pretty good at replacing anything in this life, but no matter how many times we get replaced in however many areas of our lives, there is no replacing each unique Creation of the Living God. Nobody else who has ever been born (or ever will be) was Designed to do what each one of His Children is Uniquely Designed to do while they’re here! We’re Perfectly timed, Uniquely equipped, and irreplaceable in the eyes of God! Accepting this Truth puts Life in a whole New Perspective, and it should be enough to make everybody spring out of bed eager to meet with the Living God! As for me, I am confident that He had a Job Description in mind for me before I was ever born into this world and I KNOW that I’m Irreplaceable. Embracing this Truth is the Key to living your life FOR Him, instead of just with Him.

Every single day mothers pay hard-earned money to have the life of their child snuffed out before they have a chance to enter this world. It’s sad enough when one person values their own life more than another, but it’s incomprehensible when life is snuffed out of the defenseless. On this side of the womb, the world will defend a defenseless child and yet it callously snuffs out the same life before it enters the world without blinking an eye. God plants the seed of life into every living being, and He doesn’t make mistakes or have “bad timing.” Each seed of life that He Plants has a unique Purpose at a unique Time in the History of the world. When we snuff the life out of a baby before it has a chance to enter this world, we rob that person of the opportunity to fulfill what God Planned for them to do…and we rob God too. The very second life is snuffed out of a baby he or she is in the arms of Jesus before their dismembered body even makes it to the trash can…and He will be loving them forever even though nobody else did. Snuffing out the life of someone else is a horrible thing, no matter if life is snuffed out in or out of the womb. But there are FAR worse things than death. Being robbed of the Purpose you were Created to Fulfill is far worse. Denying the Hand of God is far worse. Embracing this Truth is the Key to valuing Life as HE SEES it…and not as we do.

I am Irreplaceable and I’m loved by the King of all kings. I was born at just the right time, to just the right parents, to do just what He Created ME to do. I don’t want to be blown away like those fall leaves, never to be seen again on this earth, without Fulfilling His Plans for me! He Chose me. He Refined me. I’m Ready!

How about you?
