I Chose You

My Precious Daughter,

Yes, I chose you! I chose you before everything. Before the foundation of the earth, I picked you to be mine. I formed you myself - with my own hands - in your mother's womb. I numbered the hairs on your head and I numbered the days of your life. I know the plan I have laid out for you; I know the beginning and the end.

I know the sorrow, the pain and the heartache you have experienced. I have captured each tear and am here by your side to collect any more that may fall. I have seen you through trials and turmoil, poor choices and wrong direction. I have guided you back to the path of My will and have carried you when you were to weary to go on your own.

I have danced with you, celebrated with you. laughed with you and I sing over you. I have filled you with joy overflowing, and I have rejoiced in every victory. I have watched you grow from an infant ... to a girl ... to a woman; and I will be watching and walking with you through every step of the rest of your life.

Yes, precious one, I chose you - from the beginning because I knew you were exactly who I wanted.

You are My daughter, My beloved child, a princess in the kingdom of Heaven and a treasure in My heart. Nothing and no one can ever take that from you, beautiful one. You are My daughter - I chose you.

I love you.


Eph. 1: 4 - 6 (Amplified) - 4Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. 5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent] -- 6[So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

  1. Joan,
    Another beautiful post. Of course you were correct....it "hits the spot" or me.
    I've e-mailed a recommendation to my friend Marti in AZ who is a very strong, committed sister in the Lord. I met her when working at a bank shortly after H.S. She had been one of my "prayer warrior's" for years. I hope she likes it and becomes a "follower"!!
    Bless you!
