You are chosen

Happy Monday! I hope that you had a great weekend. 

           This week, God placed a word on my heart. Value! Do you feel valued at home, work, church, etc.? I recently began studying the book of Ephesians.

           Ephesians 1:4-5 states, “That is in Christ, He chose us before the world was made so that we would be His holy people-people without blame before Him. Because of His love, God had already decided to make us His own children through Jesus Christ. That was what He wanted and what please Him.” 

           Three words that stood out to me in this Scripture, “He chose us.” God loved us before the world was even made. We don’t even have to earn that love. God gives it to us freely.

           Have you ever been rejected? The rejection leaves us with a wounded soul. However, the love of God will heal your wounded soul. I know because I have been rejected. God has picked me up and touched my heart far more than I can count.

           Friends, I want you to know that you are valued. You are chosen! I am chosen!
