"He changeth never His purpose in no manner of thing, nor never shall, without end. For there was no thing unknown to Him in His rightful ordinance from without beginning. And therefore all-thing was set in order ere anything was made, as it should stand without end; and no manner of thing shall fail of that point. For He made all things in fullness of goodness, and therefore the blessed Trinity is ever full pleased in all His works."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 11)
God always had a beautiful purpose and plan for creating us, and this plan never changed and never will. He knew before creation all that would happen, all the things each person would say and do, every failure and success we would have, and none of that changed His perfect plan or could ever keep it from being fulfilled. His love dream was never in doubt! He made us, and all things in fullness of goodness, and He is absolutely pleased and delighted with us. And we can be sure that He is preserving that goodness within us no matter what wrong turns we make in our lives. We shall stand before Him without end, blameless and innocent and good children, delighted in and loved by our Father forever. That is His love dream from before time began, and Christ has assured this outcome for us all!
"For consider what He has done - before the foundation of the world He chose us to become, in Christ, His holy and blameless children living within His constant care."
Ephesians 1:4 (PHP)
A Prayer: Thank You that You planned our relationship before time began! Thank You that You wanted me and loved me and planned for me to be Your child, and thank You that I will always be Your child! I will always belong to You, Papa!
