He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. 2 Timothy 1:9 NIV
He saved us..not because of what we've done. This reminds me of a favorite song of mine, "Mercy Saw Me". It says that Jesus saw not what we were but what we could be. God saved us not because of what we could do but what we could be. And for His own purpose! God has a purpose for you no matter where you came from or how bad you think things are.
Our job is to love God, live his word, and give his love to others so that they also may be molded for his purpose. Some days this is easy; most it's not. But we must not let Satan derail us and steal our joy that God has given us so that we can be used for his purpose.
Think about this: before time began, God chose you.
