Chosen by Design
You are a treasured possession, handpicked by God Himself. The Creator of the universe saw you, wanted you, and claimed you as His own. Jesus’ words echo in our hearts: “You didn’t choose me, I chose you!” This declaration of love and acceptance is not a mere afterthought, but a deliberate choice made with purpose and intention.
A Voluntary Selection
God’s decision to choose you was not driven by obligation or necessity. He didn’t select you out of duty or because He had to. No, His choice was an act of love, a deliberate and willing decision to make you His own. You are not a replacement or a fill-in; you are His first and only choice.
Redeemed and Precious
The apostle Peter reminds us that we were purchased with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot (1 Peter 1:19). This sacrifice is a testament to God’s value and esteem for you. You are His child, forever and always.
Enduring Struggles, Eternal Promises
Though struggles may beset you, they will not last forever. But you will. The promise of 2 Timothy 2:12 stands firm: “If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.” Hold on to this truth, dear one. It is a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.
Embracing Your Identity
So, let this truth sink deep into your heart: you are God’s child, chosen and loved by Him. Don’t just believe it; live it. Let it shape your identity and inform your decisions. You are a child of the King, and that changes everything.
