Chosen by God!
Yes, let's talk truth!
We are not an accident. God formed us on purpose for purpose. We have been approved by God. Even if no one ever approves of us we have God’s approval. We have been chosen by God before the very foundation of the world! He chose us, actually picked us out for Himself as His own!
Formed by God:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5 AMPC)
Approved by God:
“For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.” (I Thessalonians 2:4 NLT)
Chosen by God:
"As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (I Peter 2:4-5 NIV)
God formed us. God approved us. God chose us. Before we were a thought or reality He made provision for us to be here. While unfolding the plan of redemption, while Jesus prayed the prayer for those to come, while He died and rose - He did all of this because He knew YOU would be here. Mom and dad may not have wanted you. But God always wanted you. He has a plan and a purpose for your life. You did not catch Him by surprise. You are special, a treasure, to God! He loves you with an everlasting love unconditionally.
"I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." (Jeremiah 29:10b-11 MSG)
Walk boldly in the fullness of who you are in Christ!
