Chosen

July 21st

John 15:16
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the father in my name, he may give it to you."

You were chosen. Remember when LeBron chose Miami or when a team picks someone first based on skills or ability. This verse shows us we were picked first. We didn't have to sit out or get picked last. We are first. Even when we fail, sin, turn away, deny, doubt, hate. Whatever the issue, God chooses us. Feeling rejected, bullied, lost, sad, depressed? God chooses you. He chose you in the beginning.  He chose you through the blood of Jesus. No matter what happens, you have a friend, mentor,  teammate,  coach, leader, forgiver, and a Savior who will always choose to love you and is always waiting with arms open for you to choose Him.
