Choose To Be Chosen

Do you feel at peace with yourself? Do you question your purpose,wonder what's next, try to see just where the road ahead is leading? How do you choose?

I have been thinking about the matter of being chosen by God. When we give our lives to God,make the wisest possible choice to serve Him,it is not because we have been smart enough to figure that it is the best thing to do and the best person to be and the best road to take.

The truth is that we of ourselves would not, cannot choose the best life which is in Christ Jesus. In our sinful state we never seek after the Lord;it is He that seeks after us!He is the Good Shepherd that seeks after the one lost sheep that strays into danger.He is the King that steps down from His throne and exchange place with a degenerate rebel in order to restore him to an eternal life of perfection, peace and prosperity in the Kingdom of Love and Righteousness.He is the One who stands at your heart's door knocking;asking you to hear His voice,receive His love,return to your position and your inheritance as a child of the Most High God;the Supreme Ruler of the universe!

In other words, you are called and chosen by the Lord. You have not chosen Him, He has chosen you and He will keep on choosing you every single day of your life! You are special.You are royalty.You are worth more than all the silver and gold in the world.You are valued so much by God that He became a man and died in your place;in my place.You and I are so special not because of our choices.Not because of our self esteem or pride.Not because we are smart and make smart decisions.Not because we are wise and stay out of trouble.Not because of our parents,where we are born or when. Not because we have earned anything of such great value.Not because we've got it all together.We are special because God considers us to be special!So very special!!

He chose to create us.Then,He chose to save us when we rebelled against Him,went to war with Him,turned our backs on Him,disobeyed and continue to disregard Him.He chose us to be His very own children;sons and daughters.HE CHOSE so that You and I can CHOOSE life or death;eternal life with Him or eternal death and non-existence. CHOOSE TO BE CHOSEN.

In order to be sure of our identity,our purpose,our place and our destination we only have to make one decision.That decision is to accept that God has,is,choosing you right now and He will always choose you as His own.Choosing to accept that God chooses us will settle all the questions that I started out asking,perfectly. So whether you are living with certainty or confusion is not the first or most important question.The first thing is to choose to be chosen by God and then all your answers will line up with that fundamental reality.You will live a divinely chosen life designed by the Divine Himself for us.I like to be special.I want to live a special life.I choose to be a Chosen of the Lord!What is your choice?
