God chose us in Christ before time began. We are wanted, just as we are, for who we are!
"I have called you by name; you are Mine."
Isaiah 43:1 (NLT)
We were already prized and valued by God, like a priceless jewel to Him that He saw and delighted in, long before we even existed on this earth, for we already existed in His heart and thoughts and imagination! He chose us way back then before creation, and choosing means calling by name! That means before time began He already called us by name, called us "My Beloved" and "Beautiful" and "My Bride." He gave us grace before time began, gave us favor, meaning that He actually called us His favorite - favored, highly esteemed, greatly loved - before time itself even started. What security in knowing that before we were even born, before we could do anything to try to earn any acceptance or approval, He already chose us, wanted us, called us 'worth everything to Me', said 'you are Mine, My very own!' If He chose us before we were even around to try to cause the choosing, then nothing we do could make us lose that choosing. We will always be His delight and joy! He is never going to divorce His Bride.
A Thought: We are safely in His embrace forever!
