“What then will this child be?
For the hand of the Lord was with him.”
– Luke 1:66 –
A nurse pauses beside a newborn’s crib, watching as the baby sleeps. A grandmother leans toward the young mother and whispers, “There’s something different about him.” The mother smiles—unsure, but she feels it too. As if an unseen hand is already holding this little life, gently shaping what’s to come.
Before John the Baptist could speak or act, his birth stirred awe—because the hand of the Lord was with him (Luke 1:66). Likewise, God knew, set apart, and called you before you understood your worth (Jer 1:5).
In life’s quietest moments—like a newborn’s breath—God is weaving something sacred. You are not an accident. You are a whispered promise. A life intentionally crafted with divine purpose. Like the people who looked at John and wondered, “What then will this child be?” we are invited to see with eyes of faith—the divine spark in ourselves and in others. Every life carries unique potential, a calling written by God’s own hand.
