Chosen

Chosen.  That word is simple enough conveying a sense of belonging and desirability.

A word so simple, has such a deep and life-long impact on our lives.  As a human race, we crave a complete belonging, a complete acceptance of our individual self by those around us. It is in this craving that everything can be won or lost.

Who are we going to trust to CHOOSE us?  Are we going to lose importance if peers decided not to choose us, to toss us aside and not give us a second glance, conveying with their actions that we are not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough to be on their exclusive "team"?
OR are we going to fully commit to trusting in the Truth?  This Truth says that we are chosen, not as a whole group of people, but INDIVIDUALLY chosen by the All Powerful Creator.

On this day, this Truth has been laid on my heart.  Am I trusting in God and the truth He speaks to me through His Son, Jesus, that I am chosen ;before even time began, before any semblance of me was developed I was chosen?  Where is my head at in this?  Why do I seem to continually forget that in being chosen I am fully beloved.  Fully beautiful, fully intelligent, and fully GOOD ENOUGH.  Why does my head forget to look deep with inside my being, into my heart and soul to find the preexisting truth of my belonging to something much bigger than any group of this world.

I pray for all of us.  I pray that we find that truth and that more importantly we trust in that we are fully chosen and fully loved by the Most Powerful, the Most Loving God.
