God is omniscient, omnipresent, and sovereign.
Not news to you?! GOOD!!
I didn't think it would be, but have you ever stopped to consider what this means in
your life?!
The Scripture states that God
chose us to be in Him before the foundation of the world...a holy people without blame (
Ephesians 1:4).
The fact that man is willful or often rejects such love does not factor into this equation...seeing and knowing what humanity would do, He
yet chose us to be His Bride.
It can be almost staggering to comprehend that before God ever spoke a creative Word...before He stepped out onto nothing and created something...before He ever separated the light from the darkness...before He ever did one thing, He was thinking of
you.
God knew your family tree before He
made a tree. He knew your DNA and uniquely and precisely planned your life accordingly.
He saw it all. Some may have issues because they
think they know the story, but God knew everything there ever was to know about you before it happened...every thought and deed, and created you
anyway.
You may have been told you were unwanted...an unexpected result of the passion of your parents, but God was not surprised at your birth. He calls no one "unwanted" and counts none as 'illegitimate'.
There may have been times when you felt like the least in the Kingdom as regarding gifts and abilities, as if God called some and not others.
Not so.
Just as your fingerprints are uniquely your own, so is your calling. Oh, there may be many preachers and missionaries, singers and musicians, altar workers and prayer warriors, but the fact is, there is only one YOU.
No one can quite do whatever it is that you do
like you. That doesn't make you better than...it just makes you YOU. God didn't create you to be me...He created you to be YOU.
So you matter.
You are important.
God had you on His mind, not just when He was on the Cross, but from the dawn of creation.
He sees and He knows...
