I am chosen by God and adopted as His child!

This is pretty significant stuff! The Maker of the universe chose you and brought you into His family, adopting you as His very own!

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding."   Ephesians‬ ‭1:3-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Did you read those words that tell you how God felt about all of this? It gave him 'great pleasure'!

* Listen to the song 'Who You Say I Am' from Hillsong https://youtu.be/lKw6uqtGFfo

* Write 'I am chosen by God and adopted by Him!' on a post it note and put it somewhere you will see it each day.

* Say it and memorise part of the verses above to remind you.

* Tell someone who you are or just look in the mirror and remind yourself!

Pray:
Thank You God for the blessing of being chosen and adopted into Your family. Thank You for loving me so much!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 1 John‬ ‭3:1‬a NIV‬‬
