Love That Existed Before Time
Have you ever wondered when God’s love for you began? Long before the stars were set in place, before time itself was measured, God already loved you.
“1 Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.”
You see, God’s love wasn’t born at Calvary. Before the first sunrise, before the mountains rose or the oceans swelled, God was love (1 John 4:8). Picture the vast emptiness before creation; "without form and void" (Genesis 1:2), yet even then, His love burned brightly.
The angels worshipped Him. The universe waited for His command. And in that eternal moment, He already knew you! Knew your name, your struggles, and your need for a Saviour.
Chosen Before the World Began
The Bible tells us something astonishing: "He chose us in Him before the creation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4 NIV). Before you took your first breath, before you ever stumbled or sinned, God loved you. His love isn’t a reaction; it’s His very nature.
Unchanging – Unlike human love, His love never fades.
Unearned – He loved you before you could do anything to deserve it.
Unending – It stretches from eternity past to eternity future.
A Love That Still Shines Today
The same love that shaped the cosmos now holds your life. No failure, no darkness, no doubt can extinguish it. The question is: Will you love Him in return?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me before time began. Help me to truly grasp the depth of Your unchanging love. Let it fill me with security, joy, and a desire to love You back with all my heart. Amen.
