Have you ever been in a game in which the team was chosen by the captain?
Perhaps you were the one to do the choosing… then you chose who was best.
Perhaps you were being chosen because of friendship or you were skilled at whatever the contest was.
Perhaps, perhaps… you were chosen last because you were lousy at whatever the competition was. Been there, done that! Honesty won out… I was lousy! I understood why I was last to be chosen.
Jesus taught His disciples truths of God. Are you a follower of Christ? Jesus is talking to you through the word of God. If you aren’t a disciples of Jesus, you can be… right now. Asking Him to be your Savior is the best gift you can ever receive. He has done all the rest that is needed by God.
Acts 4:12 NASB “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
Listen, really listen, to what Jesus says to all who follow Him:
Luke 12:32 NASB “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.”
I have not been chosen – last! I have been gladly chosen! Not out of being forced into choosing me, not begrudgingly, but gladly chosen!
~ Take it to heart ~
Just think, all those whose faith is in the Lord Jesus have gladly been chosen.
Are you one of us?
Are you praising God because you have been gladly chosen by Him?
