“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.” Ephesians 1:4
Andy Roddick is a well-known name in the world of tennis...but it wasn’t always that way. He started playing when he was three and a half years old. As he got a little older, he never put down his racquet and played tennis in the garage for hours against imaginary opponents. When he was seven, he was so certain of his future success, he gave his entire family autographed tennis balls for Christmas.
Andy knew he’d make it in tennis... but so many think they “know” only to find themselves feeling unworthy and unsuccessful. If that’s you today, I have good news... YOU are already a success where it matters. In Ephesians 1, Paul tells us that even before He made the world... God loved us. You are loved by God. You are His child and He has a plan for your life. No need to wonder if you’re important... you are. You may never sign an autograph, but your name is written on God’s heart... and it’s for that reason that you should hold your head up and keep moving forward as the masterpiece you were created to be!
