Those whom God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. - Romans 8:29-30
Dear Jesus,
This blows my mind; that you had me in your mind from all eternity, that you predestined me to be a believer, that you work tirelessly to make me like yourself, that you would call me your brother after all the ways I have failed you, that your declare me to be innocent so I can live from the power of perfection granted until I shine next to you in heaven. This all blows my mind but I believe it and so I live in hope and not despair.
Amen
