It is a great feeling after high school tryouts when you see your name posted because you were chosen to be on the varsity team. Or when you get the call for the offer you had been wanting from the school you longed to attend. Or you get the call from the Board saying they would like to hire you as their head coach. We all have the deep desire to be seen, heard and valued, and we feel that validation when we are chosen for something or by someone.
We find even better news when we understand we serve a God who chose us from the beginning when He decided to create us in His image.
“So God created man
in his own image;
he created him in the image of God;
he created them male and female.” -Genesis 1:27
He created us to love us.
He created us to have a relationship with us.
He chose to bring us into existence.
We are CHOSEN.
And if we were chosen by God, we were created by God to live in His love and do great things for Him.
We see different people through the Bible who were chosen to complete certain tasks, and even though they were chosen
by God, they still had to choose to say “yes”
to God.
