First pick or last? John 15:16

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Do you remember playing a game as a child and then choosing up teams? Remember how it felt to be picked........last or close to last? The big thing was not to be picked last. If you were the last pick, then you were on the team by default.Ugh! This does not really boost your self-esteem. Well, read this, then rejoice.

John 15:16 "You didn't choose me. I CHOSE YOU. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name."

Wow! You are a chosen one. You ARE NOT THE LAST PICK! Jesus made the first choice-to love and to die for us, to invite us to live with him forever. We make the next choice - to accept or reject his offer. Without his choice, we would have no choice to make.

Are you glad you accepted Jesus' invitation. You were chosen! Rejoice, go boldly into the world and share the news with others. It is great to be chosen. But even greater to be chosen, not only by the King of kings, but the CREATOR!! Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
