He Chose YOU Before the WORLD

"Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love"
Ephesians 1:4

I was actually going to talk about another verse but I decided to read a few verses before my selected verse, for some reason. I came across this one. I couldn't help but cry while reading it. THE GOD OF THIS UNIVERSE, THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS, chose me...ME! Before the foundation of the earth! Why? I don't know! I'm not THAT special, I haven't done anything remarkable to catch His eye, yet He decided to CHOOSE me. After His amazing grace of choosing someone who's not really an asset to His Kingdom, all He asks is that I live as I was created to live...and I fail everyday. I can't even do the one thing He asked of me!

Sometimes I purposely ignore His commands and give in to the temporary satisfaction of the things of the flesh. I disobey, I lie and all for what? To feel guilt and regret continuously! While He promises peace and a never ending satisfaction.

Prayer: Father thank you for choosing me before the foundation of the Earth. Thank you that you forgive me of my faults! But father sorry that I keep disobeying you and giving in to the thing you told me to be wary of. I pray that I walk in your ways and that you continue to guide my path. Amen
