Chosen
I was just given the most simple yet absolutely perfect revelation. God chose to create me. Because of that, I am the Beloved. He did not have to choose to form me. He did not have to breathe life into my lungs. Every individual, everywhere, historically, presently, and in the future is infinitely valuable because the God of the universe breathes His life into them. He chose us the moment He imagined us.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born I set you apart.” Jeremiah 1:5
Only God could do the type of choosing that sets every person everywhere apart. No one misses this choosing. No one evades “belovedness” because no one was formed outside of God’s plan.
God doesn’t create and then forget. He loves me. He loves me because He created me. He created me knowing the pain that I would be, the quirks that I would possess, the mess that I would be, the shattered pieces that would become my life. He made me knowing that He could put those pieces back together. He made me knowing that He would be able to redeem my mistakes and my traumas. He made me knowing all of me, and still He chose to make me. He chose me.
Somehow, in the vastness of all of the humans who ever walked this earth, in the volume of every set of lungs that inhaled air, and every tiny baby whose life was snuffed out before they uttered a cry, God chose us. He loves each of us. We are each, in our finite terms, His “favorite.” I am His favorite. You are His favorite. How can He do this? I don’t know, but He can because He is God. I want to see myself through this lens. I want to see others through this lens of “beloved.”
“My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All of the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139: 15-16
He dreamt us into being. He, in His infinite perfection, created us to mirror Him. The take-home message is this: How do I know I am beloved? It is so simple yet perfect. I know that I am beloved because He chose to create me.
