Gem #42 - The Chosen Ones

In the very beginning, when this great universe was in the mind of God,

like unborn forests in a cup of acorns; long before the echoes walked in

the quiet solitudes; before the mountains were brought forth; and long

before the light flashed through the sky, God loved His chosen men and

women. Before there were men and women--when the heavens were not yet

fanned by an angel's wing; when space itself did not an exist; when there

was nothing but God alone; even then, in that loneliness of Deity, and in

that deep quiet and depth, His heart moved for His chosen ones. Their

names were written on His heart, and they became dear to His soul.
