Ephesians 1:1-10

I am a saint to Christ.
I am faithful in Christ.
Scripture tells me my true identity.
Blessed be God. Not blessed be me. Not blessed be any person. Blessed be God. The Father of Christ and the Father of me and you. This blessed one blesses us (all His own doing) with every spiritual blessing. We are in the Spirit not in the flesh. The flesh fears, the Spirit has faith.
He chose me. He chose you.
We are chosen by god to be holy and blameless. 
We are not chosen to be sinful and broken and condemned. We are chosen to be nothing less than holy and blameless.
I am-in every sense-one with Christ. He chose me. Which is why HE carries the good work (us) to completion. I am where I am, a follower and a lover of Christ, because (and only because) He chose me. If he chose me, he also paid for me. IF the choosing is His I cannot lose it. There is only gain. There is no loss for the one God has chosen in. There is no point in questioning God's goodness. He was beyond good to choose me. He chose me before the foundation of the world. My choseness has nothing to do with the life I have lived and everything to do with the life Christ lived.
I did some contemplative prayer before digging into the Word. I heard only lies. I cannot be the mediator between me and God. I distort everything in my pain and bitterness. Scripture is the mediator. Christ is the mediator. Christ is the ultimate true, whole Word of God. All Scripture reveals Him to me. Through Scripture He reveals himself to me. 
In love, he predestined you and I both for adoption as daughters and sons through Christ according to the purpose of his will to the praise of HIS glorious grace with which he has blessed us individually in the Beloved. God makes himself known to us in Christ. WE ARE ADOPTED.
In Him, we have redemption through his blood. Not in ministry, the amount of people we bring to him, or anything we do. In Him we have the forgiveness of trespasses ("Your sins have been forgiven" he said to the paralytic who was lowered to him through the roof by his friends. He did not start with rise up and walk. Sins are the bigger thing-more significant. If my sins have been forgiven, if I truly possess the love of God then healthy or sick, single or married, dead or alive, walking or paralyzed-it doesn't really matter. I have the love of God for whose sake I have lost all things-for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ and him crucified.) We have this forgiveness according to the riches of his grace which he lavished upon us. He made known to us his will (the mystery of his will) which was set forth in Christ to unite all things in him.
