Ever wonder what it would be like to be totally loved and accepted to the point that when you are corrected and or rebuked, it doesn't feel like correction or rebuke, it doesn't feel like pain, it doesn't feel like rejection...it feels like love? Now, that would take a tremendously powerful love relationship...a relationship that produces healing and growth.

Ephesians chapter 1, verses 4 thru 6 says that God "chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before him in love". It also says that he "predestined us to be his adopted children by Jesus Christ ", and because he was pleased to do this for you and for me ("according to the pleasure of his will") he "has made us (you and me) accepted in the beloved to the praise of His glory". I think this is worth a Selah moment...that is let us "Pause and calmly think about that!"
