Day 10

Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love... Ephesians 1:4
I invite you today to fix your thoughts on this reality: you were chosen by God in Christ before the foundation of the world to fully meet His desires as one He loves. Le me set the scene for you. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit were in an eternal relationship of joy and delight. The Son is forever the perfect fulfillment of all that the Father is, the full expression of the heart, mind, will and emotions of God. Hebrews 1:3 calls Jesus the "exact representation of the divine nature." In other words, He is everything that God is.
As the Father gazed eternally on His Son and enjoyed Hi, He beheld in Him all those would come from Him; generations of children conceived by God in Christ for His own pleasure. Even as the Father delighted in His Son, so He delighted in these children who were seen and chosen and was well-pleased, for His is confident in His own ability to being all things into conformity with His will. He has loved you forever, and your destiny is settled in His love. Consider this and give thanks today, asking the Holy Spirit to open your heart and mind to this amazing truth.
Prayer: Father, the thought that I have existed in Your heart from before creation is staggering to me. Help me to set my mind and heart in agreement with the truth that You know me and love me more than I can imagine, and that You have planned my life for Your own enjoyment. Thank You, Lord.
