"God chose you when He planned creation."
Barry Adams
"God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and His Spirit has made you holy."
1 Peter 1:2
God chose us to be His very own long ago, before the universe even existed! He already had us in His heart and in His mind as the beloved children He adored. He already knew us long ago in Christ. Rather than hoping to find God, we can truly say we've always been with Him in Christ from before time began. God has always been holding on to us and we have always been included in the love and joy of God!
A thought: God wants me, God chooses me, God treasures me.
