Chosen
“Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of
the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.” Ephesians 1:3-6
It would seem
that everywhere you look nowadays people are seeking to be “chosen”. Look at
the TV schedules and see the many shows where people compete to be the best
singer, dancer, sports star, cake baker, etc. Our society seems to hold fame,
riches and success as things which are synonymous with significance and
identity and therefore, many are striving for this elusive dream.
We were chosen by God before the
foundation of the world to be saved through the blood of Jesus Christ, made
holy and blameless, even though we are sinners and to be adopted as His
children.
We are chosen.
We are God’s children, is there anything better than that? Rejoice every day in
his Love!

abilities, thank you! We will hang the
artwork soon in the hallway downstairs.
