John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He GAVE us His only Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall have life eternal.
How many times in our lives to we stand in places where we are chosen? Getting a job. Participating in the school drama. Being picked in elementary school for the dodge ball team. Entering a contest. Waiting to be picked for someone’s prom date. Waiting to be chosen as a wife or husband. So many areas in our life for disappointments. Everso many chances for woundness. Opportunities for Satan to enter into our world and have his way. How lucky are we that God will always choose us?
I think there are some persons reading this that just need to get this in their spirit. Because He LOVED us FIRST, He gave us life! Abundant life is at our fingertips. Because He LOVED us FIRST, He gave us a free will. We have the ability to choose Him for our lives when He already has chosen us for His own. Because He LOVED us FIRST, we get to inherit ALL of the things He promises in the Bible. So why do we feel so unloved and unchosen? Perhaps it was our past lives before we knew Jesus. Maybe we still have it stuck in our heads that no one picked us for the dodge ball team in third grade and therefore, we are not worthy of ever being picked for anything, especially the work of the Kingdom.
BECAUSE He loved us He gave us life and life abundant. Get this into your spirit. Stop what you are doing right now and repeat that like a bizzilion times. He loves you. He desires to be in a relationship with you. No man or woman on this earth can give you what God has to offer. Your healing does not come from a book or time or doctors….your inner healing only comes from Jesus. When we accept Jesus as our PERSONAL Savior, we are made new. Our old life is passed away and we are free to choose to love again. As new creations in Christ it’s like we have a fresh new start. We get to choose a new life of abundant love .
Today..choose Jesus. Today…accept your inheritance. Today….begin to take hold of yourself as a new Creation. Move forward from this moment and dive into what God has in store for you. Begin your new life with the knowledge that it is His choice to love you. It is His choice to give you abundance. It is His choice to show you love like you have never seen or felt it before. Choose today to be a new Creation in Love and choose to take up your inheritance and run with God. Choose to be Loved!!!
