Chosen in Love

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him in love
Ephesians 1:4

Just think of it for a moment… God chose you before the world came into being. That is hard for the mind to grasp…

That is that God’s love for you goes to such depth and length… his thoughts of you then are numerous and his ponderings of you beyond the counting of time.

His plans for you are good and not evil. His desire is for you to be holy… just as he is holy. Why? So that he can sit down with you and have fellowship. See, God wants to be your friend. He wants to fill all the empty and longing places of your heart. God wants to be that close to you.

If we are honest with ourselves this is what we want also. We want the emptiness within us to go away once and for all time. We want the ache in our soul to be filled with love… We want the nagging fear of this life and the one to come to be obsolved. We desire a clear conscience, a good heart, righteousness…

That righteousness and that love is Christ Jesus, our Lord!
