God picked you!

Ephesians  1:4 & 5 says, “Just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him in LOVE. He destined us for adoption as His children through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will". 

HOLD THE PHONE…! Re-read that… Jesus chose me and you even before we were a twinkle in our father’s eye, before God stared spinning the plates in Heaven and exploding stars and making night and day He knew us and more over He loved us… Theologians call this predestination – I call it mind blowing!

We so often limit God to our thinking, our understanding of things don’t we? But God who is not constrained by time or anything actually calls us to think beyond the natural; beyond our experience, our rationale, beyond our cynicism. God knew you before He had formed you, body and soul the message put’s it like this …

Psalm 139 v 13 Message  “You shaped me first inside, then out;

You formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you,

High God- you’re breathtaking!

Body and soul, I am marvellously made!

I worship you in adoration –what a creation!

You know me inside and out,

You know every bone in my body;

You know exactly how I was made bit by bit,

How I was sculpted from nothing into something.

Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;

All the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I’d seen one day”.

What’s more human beings like me and you were designed for the pleasure of God. Even in our brattiest moments the Father heart of God loves us with the completeness that is perfection. God is love it is His identity, His character… 

Beloved… know who you are today chosen, cherished child of the King, ask The Holy Spirit to help you receive the revelation of who you are in Him.
