Chosen…

             

 Chosen….

I have four children…two birth, two adopted…I don’t think of them in a different light…they are my children…they  joined our family…maybe differently…but, they were chosen to be part of my family…whatever route they came…

They all have different personalities, temperaments, talents and they are all amazing….

Oh, there have been some tough times, but, we are still a family…through all the family searches, DNA tests, we know all our backgrounds, where we all came from, family ties…interesting, but, we assimilated it all and still became  a family…put together, through no accident, planned and known by God…long before we existed…

I as started Ephesians, I thought of this, again…it is so comforting…even in the rough times…we are chosen to be a part of His family and each of our own…each learning life lessons, each a similar and separate path…each designed especially for us….there are no surprises for Him, no “what do I do now” mind games…He is in control….

Thank YOU….

 Teach me to do your will,for you are my God;may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Ps.143.10

 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. 

In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. 

With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. 

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. 

When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Eph.1.3-14

 For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;your works are wonderful,I know that full well. 

My frame was not hidden from youwhen I was made in the secret place,when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 

Your eyes saw my unformed body;all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Ps.139.13-16

Bind us together…
