You are chosen

Ever have those times, probably in elementary school recess, where you were one of the last ones chosen? It wasn't because you were the worst at something but mainly because you didn't really know anyone, and no one really knew you. Or, maybe it was because the most popular, the most aggressive, the loudest were always the ones choosing, and you were none of those things.

I think we have all experienced those times that we feel we should have been chosen, or at least chosen sooner. It's tough, uncomfortable, unsettling to go through the ordeal of being selected or not selected. However, if you are a child of GOD, you have been chosen to be a part of something bigger than you could ever imagine.

Today's word is 1 Peter 2:9a, NIV, which reads, "But you are a chose people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, GOD'S special possession..."

GOD has chose each of us to be a part of His family, THE FAMILY OF GOD. Now, as we discussed a few days ago, GOD'S call requires a response. But, when GOD convicts us of our sin and our need for a SAVIOR, IF we will answer His call, He accepts us into His family. He could and does choose everyone, including me.

You are chosen; don't ever let anyone tell you any difference. GOD has chosen you to be a part of a royal priesthood, a holy nation; you are His special possession. Of all the things GOD created, and He created everything, upon creating mankind, He said, "It is very good." He loves us enough to send His One and Only Son to die for our sins. We are His special possession. Don't ever let this world make you feel unwanted - you are chosen.

Be Blessed,
