"Because of what Christ has done,
we have become gifts to God
that he delights in,
for as part of God's sovereign plan
we were chosen
from the beginning to be his,
and all things happen
just as he decided long ago."

~ Ephesians 1:11 & 12 LAB

Bible Commentary:  :What delight youngsters display when given a special gift. Joy radiates from their eyes, spreading across their faces in big, happy smiles. As adults, we rarely experience such pure delight. Yet we ourselves are gifts that inspire an infinitely higher and greater delight in the heart of God. He accepts us with joy because of what Christ did for us. When we feel that our lives aren't worth much to anyone else, remember that we are a special gift in God's eyes, a precious present that brings him great joy."
