"You don't have to sing a single note to get God - or anyone else - to notice you. Because before you ever breathed, before you even had the opportunity to show off or screw up, God declared,
I want you.
You're Mine. I've chosen you.
You belong. To me.
And you can know that you always will, because you always have.
Before your were ever born, I knew you.
Put it this way: God has issued an announcement from his throne in Heaven, and he wants you to know, The audition has been canceled.
He has not chosen you blindly but intentionally, even while knowing you inwardly and intimately. And let me tell you why this is some of the best news in the history of the universe: If this God has chosen you, then you no longer have to live up to anything. Instead, you are now empowered to live out of an awareness of divine acceptance.
This is the antidote to insecurity."
