What kind of love is this?

Ephesians chapter 1 is so full that it's difficult to choose which part to meditate on first. 

Why did God chose me before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ? Why is it His good pleasure to do this.  

My? Really?

The truth is: I am blown away that He chose me at all. 

Jeremiah 1:5 States: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you, before you were born I set you apart;

He did this to the praise of His glorious grace......His glorious grace, because of His unmeasurable love.

God (not bound by time, in his omniscience) expresses His love toward me, in that while I am  still a sinner, Christ died for me (Romans 5:8).
In other words God chose me before the world began, to be saved, knowing I would need redemption to be with Him, He chose to make me clean in His sight while I was still CHOOSING to sin, before I ever came to be......What kind of love is this?

• I know you are going to reject me
• I know your going to believe lies about me
• I know Your going to think accepting my love is somehow depriving you of what you "think" you need
• I know you wont want me as much as I want you
• I know that I will have to sacrifice everything to have you
• I know you will never ,while on earth, understand the depths of my love for you

I want you to know that I want good things for you, and truly good things come only from me
You will keep reaching back for the things that hurt you and took you from me in the first place,
I knew all of this, even before I created you, I know I will have to redeem you,
I choose you

How do you wrap your head around that?

His love wrecks me!
