I have been touched
I recall the experience Jeremiah had with the Lord recorded in Jeremiah 1, when he was assured that he was known by the Lord before he was even born. At that time Jeremiah was consecrated by the Lord and was appointed to be a prophet. Jeremiah replied to this commission by saying that he didn’t know how to speak for he was only a boy. But the Lord promised him that wherever Jeremiah was sent, the Lord would tell him what to say. Then the Lord put out his hand and touched Jeremiah’s mouth and said: “Now I have put my words in your mouth.” This divine touch gave Jeremiah the authority to become a great prophet for the Lord and speak for him.
