“For [God] chose us in [Jesus] before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.”
(Ephesians 1:4)
O Jesus.
You chose me!
A very long time ago.
Before I put my trust in You.
Before I was born and had done anything good or bad.
Before the earth existed.
Why?
It couldn’t be because I’m better than those You haven’t chosen!
The very fact that such a thought could enter my mind is proof of that.
Something tells me I may have to wait till heaven to learn why – out of the 107 billion people who’ve ever drawn a breath on this planet – you picked me.
But I don’t have to guess about the “other” why, do I?
You chose me to be “holy and blameless” in Your sight.
Wow.
Sounds like somebody’s got a lot of work to do.

It is amazing. Is it that if you can ask the question, it applies to you? I am not being facetious here. Just pondering . . .
