“Think, for just a moment, about who God is. All things were created through him and for him. He sustains the universe by the power of his command. Yet he knows us. Personally. Intimately. He knows every detail of our lives. Even before he created the world, he knew you. He loved you. He has always had a plan to adopt you as his son or daughter through Jesus Christ. Just thinking about this moment, when you would come to him, stirred his heart with joy. Because you mean everything to him.”
