Whole and Holy!

I think these are two thing that we strive for in life! Some times we rely on God to do it and some times we rely on our selves! ( which as we know gets us no where every time!) Thanks Breanne for the encouraging blog post of just being with God. Taking time and allowing Him to speak. As I just read through Eph 1 & 2 I again was refreshed that I'm part of something big. God plan is huge and He has created me to play a part in it. It is so wonderful. The verse that has grabbed me this morning was eph 1:2-6 ish. It was reading my message and it put it so plainly (which is necessary at 6:30 in the morning!) 

"Long before He laid down the earths foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ (What a pleasure he took in planning this!)"

It's in him that we are made whole. It is by his love that we are made holy. We are his, he chose us, we didn't choose him!
