Chosen Before Time

Devotional

Have you ever felt like an afterthought? In our human relationships, that feeling can be all too common. But here's an amazing truth that can transform your perspective: long before the first star twinkled in the night sky, before the first flower bloomed, before time itself began - God was thinking about you. You weren't a backup plan or an afterthought. You were part of His master plan from the very beginning. He didn't just create you and hope for the best - He chose you, specifically, purposefully, and lovingly. This isn't just feel-good theology; it's the bedrock truth of who you are in Christ. When we truly grasp this reality, it changes how we view ourselves and how we approach each day. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. You are a carefully crafted masterpiece, designed with purpose and chosen with love.

Bible Verse

"Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure." - Ephesians 1:4-6
