💓Chosen and Loved💓
Scripture
“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”
— Ephesians 1:4-5 (NLT)
Devotional Insight
Before time began — before you took your first breath, made your first mistake, or prayed your first prayer — God had already chosen you.
You are not an accident. You are not overlooked. The Creator of the universe looked across eternity and said, “That one is mine.”
Many people live their lives trying to earn love, approval, or belonging. But this verse shatters that mindset. God didn’t choose you because you were perfect — He chose you because He is perfect in love. He didn’t wait for you to get it together; He selected you in your most broken state and decided to make you whole in Christ.
Adoption means chosen intentionally. You weren’t just included; you were pursued. You were wanted. That truth alone has the power to heal deep rejection and loneliness. When the world tells you that you don’t measure up, this verse declares that you were measured and found worthy by the One who created you.
So today, walk with your head high. Not because of arrogance, but because of divine confidence — you are chosen, accepted, and deeply loved by God. His love is not based on performance but on promise.
