Praise God!

As I sit in this quiet moment and reflect on the message of God’s holiness and His sovereignty that chose me for His glory and salvation, I am taken over by humility and gratitude to such a marvelous God. He chose me before creation to receive the redemption provided by the blood of Christ his son. He knit me together and invested Himself in me to ultimately bring Him glory. This glory is not dependent on my obedience or any good work, but is automatic of all his creation, for that is its design. Humankind began as a friend of God, but due to our rebellion, we became His enemies. However, He foreknew each of us and had preordained a few to become holy as He is holy. He set aside those chosen few for the building of His Kingdom. Our reward for accepting His choice is communion with our creator and Savior. From this, we also derive a peace that the world knows not of and a hope for a future of eternal bliss that, for the world, does not exist. I am humbled by this divine plan to redeem such a wretched soul. I am overwhelmed by gratitude for this amazing grace and awesome love that can wash me clean and make me whole. The God of Heaven and Earth, who is so holy that eyes cannot see and allow the body to live, has looked down on mankind, pointed me out from among a multitude of sinners and saints and declared me His. He chose me, full of sin and every evil desire, doomed for an eternal hell where one can never die despite the torment in your soul, undeserving of anything less. He picked me up and covered me with His love and costly salvation and deemed me worthy. Humility and gratitude are mere human terms that cannot even begin to describe the emotion in my soul for such a God as this! Praise and Glory to our God forever more! Amen!
