“The word of the Lord came to me thus: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you” (Jeremiah 1:4-5).

Talk to your child about how amazing it is that God already knew him, knew his name, loved him, could see him, and had a wonderful plan for his life before he was born. Show him special baby pictures of his that you treasure. Have an intimate sharing time with your child, as you affirm to him how precious he is to you and to God. In the warm atmosphere of love and affection, open your Bible and read the beautiful words that God spoke to Jeremiah.

No matter the circumstances and timing of your own birth or your child’s, God had a plan for you, knew you, made you, loved you, and protected you. What an awesome God we have. What an incredible creation you are.
