Somewhere along the line the concept of being shaped has developed a negative connotation for many. That's very strange given that from the time we stop crawling our entire lives are being shaped in one way or another.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. God tells Jeremiah, in Jer 1:5 that even before he fromed(shaped) him in the womb, that he knew him and had a destiny for him. Do we know what God had planned for us? Maybe we should delve into God’s Word and see if we can find and fulfill our destiny that God has for us. Have a blessed day today and always.
Great comments as usual Gene. I was all set to use your first meme, glad I scrolled down.
Good Tuesday morning Colonel.
