God’s intention

‘You created all things … by Your will.’ Revelation 4:11

Revelation tells us that God created everything, including us. That He planned us. It’s always been his will that we exist. It hasn’t always gone to plan. But, despite that, God still chooses us, so much so that He became human, died and broke down the barriers between us and Him. When Jesus died, ‘The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom’, opening up the place where only the High Priest was allowed, where God’s presence was. Because of that decision, we can approach Him at any time. It took the death of a King to make it possible to chat to our Father, anywhere, anytime, in any state.

That’s not the plan of a distant god who happened to throw human-shaped things together and thought they were alright. That is a God who ‘chose us… before the creation of the world’.

Let that sink in.

So what does that mean for you? You are God’s intention. However you feel, whatever anyone else thinks of you, He made you and delights in you.
