Imagine that there is nothing in all creation that is desired more than you! This is 100 percent true. There are wars all around the world over land. Yet in the end no one keeps it. They die and the land goes to the next person. Ultimately, the land will be destroyed by fire. God created the earth and all the rest of creation for man. He created man for Himself. When man sinned and left God, then God willed the sacrifice of His own Son for you. God desires you above all creation. There is nothing more valuable than you. However, don't go being prideful. You must realize that while there is nothing more valuable than you, you are not more valuable than any other person. God considers you, your spouse, your children, and Adolph Hitler all of the same value. He desires you so much that it was His will to die in the person of His son so you could be with Him.
Hebrews 10:10 NASB95 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
What amazing value you have! Jesus didn't come to purchase back any part of God's creation except man!
Because He didn't create all of this for Himself He created it for us. It was us He created for Himself.
He wants us just like He created us. Which is righteous. Our sin ruined that. Jesus fixed it through the offering of His body once for ALL. This sanctified us, and in this state we are His.
Jesus did this because it was the will of the Father. After all, He desires us. We are valuable in His sight. Not because of anything we do but because the creator and the redeemer decided that you are valuable.
Imagine that there is nothing in all creation that is desired more than you!
You don't have to imagine it! Your creator decided it with His will, and your redeemer confirmed it with His obedient redemption.
Now, do you desire Him the same way? Because it is your God-given faith in Jesus and His work that is the Highway that God's Grace travels down to get to you.
You are desired. Do you in faith desire Him back?
