Ephesians 1:1-14 (EBST*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

I chose you long before you were born. I chose you to be My child. I have redeemed you through the blood of Jesus and sealed the deal with the Holy Spirit. It is My pleasure to walk and talk with you every day, teaching you to observe all My commands – namely to love Me and to love others. As you grow, you glorify Me.

What I said to God

I feel unworthy – unworthy of Your choosing, unworthy of Your redemption, unworthy of Your Seal, unworthy of Your love, unworthy of the relationship we have. I humbly bow before You now in praise and adoration. You are my God. There is no one else like You. No one knows me better. No one loves me more.
