You have been handpicked ~ You have been redeemed

"... He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world... For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ...In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcoming, and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His own gracious favor, Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence)..." Ephesians 1: 4-8 AMPC

Erase any and all the things the world has told you, and fill your mind, heart, body, and soul with these verses.  Read and re-read them until they sink way down deep into your soul.  Ask God to help glorify these verses through and within you, and ask Him to reveal just how important, beautiful, successful, and amazing you truly are.  

My friend, you are redeemed, you are forgiven, you are hand picked, and you are the apple of God's eyes.  Whatever else you've been told can be removed from your mind.  How?  Focus on God, and focus on His Word.  I guarantee, the more you fill your mind with Him, the more beautiful your life becomes - inside and out.

Earthly and eternal destiny

"... Train yourself toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritually fit].  For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is yet to come." 
1 Timothy 4:8 AMPC

Maintaining your physical health is very important for our longevity, and our quality of life while here on Earth.  However, maintaining our spiritual health in Christ, is not only important for our longevity here on Earth, but our eternal life in Heaven as well.  Friends, when this life is over, there will be a whole new, eternal, life to be lived - make sure it is one seated in Heaven with Christ; forever with Him is something not one of us will ever want to miss.  Therefore, read, pray, learn, obey, trust, and walk out the Word of God - It is the Key that holds your earthly and eternal destiny's.
