"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who
love him"
1 Cor. 2:9

God formed every creature on this planet with a special area of expertise. Some animals run, some hop, some swim, some burrow and some fly. Each has a particular role to play, based on the way it was shaped by God. The same is true with humans. Each of us was uniquely designed, or 'shaped' to do certain things.
Before architects design any new building they first ask, 'What will be its purpose? How will it be used?' The intended function always determines the form of the building. Before God created you, He decided what role He wanted you to play on earth. He planned exactly how He wanted you to serve Him, and then He shaped you for those tasks. You are the way you are because you were made for a specific ministry.
Not only did God shape you before your birth, He planned every day of your life to support His shaping process. David continues, 'Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.' (Psalms 139:16) This means that nothing that happens in your life is insignificant. God uses all of it to mold you for your ministry to others and shape you for your service to Him.
