He chose us
(actually picked us out for Himself as His own)
in Christ before the foundation of the world
(Ephesians 1:4, AMP).
Good Morning,
I have a friend that is a florist. This is her busiest day of the year. She told me that at least 80% of their customers fail to remember to order flowers before Valentine’s Day; however, they remember on Valentine’s Day. The idea of sending flowers is to remind others of our love. So, my friend says we need to remember to remind others we love them before it is too late.
The Apostle Paul wrote of the precise timing of God designing our life through divine love in Ephesians 1:4--
Even as (in His love): God ordained each life to be born in divine love. Regardless of our circumstances on earth, we can have confidence that God is the Creator of life. He creates in and through His love, which defines every individual’s worth and purpose.
He chose us (actually picked us out for Himself as His own): God has an unlimited perspective of the past, present, or future.
Before the beginning of time He deemed it necessary and mandatory for each person to be born. God determined when the world needed each individual in a specific era and time to be born.
In Christ: Our perception of life changes when we realize that humanity is chosen to live and breathe in Christ Jesus. No one is destined to be without Him; however, God gives humanity the free choice to live (abide, dwell) in Him.
Before the foundation of the world: You and I were planned out of love to live and breathe in a specific era and time before God created the world. God remembers His love for absolutely every human being all the time—not just for a lifespan on earth—but for all of eternity. His love is fresh and new every day.
Remember--God loves you.
Remember—God has created you in love.
Remember—God has created you to live in the worth and purpose of His love.
Remember-- God leaves His signature of love everywhere—study the sunrise and sunset to see the signature of His love.
Remember---God’s love will never fail or forsake you.
Remember---You are loved.
Learning with you to always remember the love of God,
Kerrie
