How ravishing is the thought of eternal love! Try to drink it in.
If you are a believer in Christ, you were loved before time began its cycles. In that old eternity, before the earth was born, you were beloved of the Lord.
You were dear to Jehovah's heart when this great world, the sun, the moon, the stars slept in the mind of God like unborn forests in an acorn-cup.
He loved you with an everlasting and infinite love. God chose you, not because of any goodness in you but of his own sovereign will and good pleasure. Rejoice in this and let your heart be glad.
Never forget that sovereign and eternal election is the source of your every spiritual blessing!
[Charles H. Spurgeon]

Jeremiah 31:3 ... The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

... We love him, because he first loved us. ❤
