God always has you on His mind. In Psa 8:4, the Psalmist exclaims that God is mindful of man. You see man is God's choicest creation. Man is the only one of God's creation that was created in the image and likeness of God - Gen 1:26. This is why man has such a special place in God's heart.
In Jer 29:11, God was reassuring His people that He only had good thoughts towards them, and not evil thoughts. He told them that His plans for them was to bring them to a place of peace and prosperity, where everything concerning was in great shape; nothing missing or broken. God reassured them because at that time His people were having challenges believing in a good outcome based on what they were going through.
You see there will be times when your present circumstances do not bear any resemblance to your promises from God. At those times you must stand in faith based on the Word of God. And remember that it is God's plan that you succeed in what He has called you to do. So be cheerful and courageous - Jn 16:33 & Jos 1:9 - because God is on your side.

You are Important to this Generation
In Gal 1:15 Apostle Paul was illustrating the process of God's call. He started by saying that 'when it pleased God'. This phrase is indicative of the timing of God. The Bible says that God makes all things perfect in His time. There is a divine timing of God. God released us into our generation with this time and season in mind. There is something that each of us possesses that we are meant to serve to our generation. God chose us for such a time as this.
The next phrase that Apostle Paul used is 'separated from my mother's womb'. This phrase speaks of something that was determined beforehand. Even before you were born and before you were an idea in your parents mind God had a specific purpose for you. He said this to Jeremiah - Jer 1:5. There is no need for us to manufacture our purpose. There is no need for us to live another person's life. God's purpose for our lives is sure. We must spend enough time in His presence to download the details of the purpose for which He created us.
The third phrase that Apostle Paul used was 'called through grace'. Here He acknowledged that it is by the grace of God that we are called. God's purpose for your life is not based on merit; it cannot be earned. It is by the grace of God that we can fulfill our purpose. The grace of God is not just God's unmerited favor. It is also God's willingness to make all of His power and ability available for you and I.
It is clear from this scripture in Gal 1:15 that Paul knew the call of God upon his life. He was clear about his God-given purpose and what it will take to accomplish all that God has called Him to do. I encourage you today, irrespective of what you may have been told, God had a purpose in mind for you when He released in this time and season. Spend time in God's presence seeking to understand His purpose for your life. Then factor in His grace so that you can accomplish all that He has called to to do.

Your God-given purpose
God has a plan for your life. Before you were conceived He had a purpose for you. God's purpose for your life has not changed. You must make it a priority to fulfill your God-given purpose in life. This is the key to finding relevance in life.
Your time is now. You were created to serve this generation. The world is waiting for you to manifest. But first you must spend time in His presence to know your purpose. Then you must dedicate your life to fulfilling this purpose.

Working out God's Plans
Pro 19:21.
Irrespective of the plans in a man's heart, God's purpose will prevail.
You and I have many plans. Unless these plans are aligned with the will of God they are bound to lead to failure. It is only God's plans that stand in the fullness of time. God's plans are accompanied by the provision of all that is needed for them to come to pass
So rather than work out your own plans, spend time in God's presence downloading His plans and understanding His purpose. Then work out His plans. One of the ways that you work out His plans is praying those plans into manifestation.
