CHOSEN

Have you ever felt like you were not quite what someone else expected you to be...or perhaps you've felt completely rejected for who you are? It's so painful it can rob you of motivation, energy and joy. There is a glorious truth for us to counter every one of those times: we were chosen in love, in Jesus, before the world was ever founded!

The unconditional love of God is another of those mind-boggling truths we can explore for all eternity. We know how hard it is to give such a love but we also know how blessed it is to receive it! God has ALWAYS known us, ALWAYS wanted us and ALWAYS loved us. May we all rejoice in being chosen by Him today and show His kind of love to those who think we just don't measure up!

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (Ephesians 1:4)
