And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
And he told me, 'The God of our ancestors has chosen you for something special, to understand his plan, to see the Righteous One with your own eyes, and to hear him speak directly to you.'
You're not here by accident, God has specific plans for you that only you can fulfill.
