3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. - Ephesians 1:3-14.
When our Father looks at you and I, He sees the most wonderful of all creations he ever created and birthed. In His very image and likeness. Like no other in creation having the ability to love and be loved. Unique in creation by that glorious design and ability to contain the life of another, Christ.
No other creature can make the claim! I was born in sin and degradation! and now; I am the most beloved of all that is seen and unseen to the praise of our father.
The father's of old knew there was something, they did not understand what they were seeing but they knew a day would come when the God they served had a plan and in that plan was a completed human being. Angels would desire to be apart of this creation that the Creator would place a part of Himself in. Unique in that; through the annals of time there would only be one. There would never be two alike in body and in expression. As unique as a snowflake, in the driven snow.
There is none like you, no not one and if He had to do it all over again and you were the only one He had to create everything for and do everything over for and die all over again He would do it. Glory to His name!
You ever wonder why you will place your crowns at His feet? He that left the glory of the Father to bring into being a plan that far surpassed anything man could imagine or understand.
The will of the Father is for humanity to be - In Christ! We are 'the praise of His glory.'
