Ephesians 1:1-6
Ephesians 1:1-6: 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

God always has a plan. Sometimes it may not seem like it but that's just the way it seems. God is not like us. We often wake up not knowing what we're going to do that day or how to do it. On the other hand, nothing ever takes God by surprise. He always has a plan. Even before He created the world and the universe in which it resides He had a plan to do something about our salvation. When we get saved it's not by chance.
Are you wondering how God feels about you? Wonder no more. This passage reveals that God has loved us from before the creation of the universe and will continue to love us long after the canvas of the heavens has been erased.
Look at our place in God's plan.
