“For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that He has chosen you,” (1 Thessalonians 1:4 CSB)
“Those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14 NKJV)
Are you feeling rejected or neglected? Are you with Him?
YOU ARE CHOSEN.
Jesus was the Chosen and rejected, first, then He elected the rejected, you and me.
“Coming to Him [as to] a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God [and] precious,” (1 Peter 2:4 NKJV)
YOU ARE CHOSEN.
YOU ARE SELECTED.
YOU ARE ELECTED .
YOU ARE NOT REJECTED.
YOU ARE PICKED OUT.
YOU ARE FAVORED.
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:5 NLT)
YOU ARE CHOSEN.
“For many are called, but few are chosen.”(Matthew 22:14 NKJV)
Everyone is called. Everyone is invited to the party of life in the Lord. Few are “chosen” because few choose Him.
YOU ARE CHOSEN.
But God….
…has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise
…has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty
…has chosen those with no family or people in the world
…has chosen the things which are despised
…has chosen the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are…(1 Corinthians 1:26-29 NKJV)
Were you foolish, weak, orphaned, despised, a nothing or nobody? God chose you and He is going to use you. He says so in 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. Can you not find a fit in one of those categories?
YOU ARE CHOSEN
“The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.” (Acts 22:14 NKJV)
Actually, Ananias said the above to Paul, but God is no respector of persons. We are all His favorite children. So, I am saying it to you. You are chosen to know His will, see and hear Him.
YOU ARE CHOSEN
“But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God has chosen you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth.” (2 Thessalonians 2:13 CSB)
YOU ARE CHOSEN
“YOU ARE A CHOSEN generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (1 Peter 2:9 NKJV)
You are not only chosen, you are a chose generation. You were chosen to be here on earth at this very moment in time. You are also a royal! You are special! You are His!
YOU ARE CHOSEN
I enCOURAGE you to KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are selected and not rejected. You are chosen and when you choose Jesus, you are adopted into the family of God. He picks you to be His. He gives you everything a loving parent would give their own blood offspring, and so much more! You are His fave.
YOU ARE CHOSEN.
I enCOURAGE you, “therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,” (Colossians 3:12 CSB)
