According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: — Ephesians 1:4

God wants us to be part of his holy family. Even before the world was made, that was his plan for us. God paid a very high price for us to become part of his family. That price was the death of his Son, Jesus. What was God trying to do? His wish and joy are to love us.

Prayer

Dear Father and Holy God, I can’t say enough good things about your love and grace. I feel lucky to be one of your adopted children, and I want to live in a way that makes you happy. Please forgive me for the times I’ve let you down or not met your expectations. I want my whole life to be a holy thank-you for the grace you’ve given me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
