Who doesn't want to feel chosen. I know I

0:05

do. I'm Lena Abu-Jamal and this

0:07

is today's single Christian. Remember when

0:09

we were in elementary school and it was time to pick

0:11

dodgeball teams? My heart always

0:14

stopped until I knew I was chosen. There's

0:16

something powerful about being chosen and wanted

0:18

when it comes to our walk with Jesus. We

0:20

can get so caught up in feeling like it's our

0:23

choice to follow Jesus. And I suppose

0:25

to a certain point it is. But the truth

0:27

is even much better than we think. Jesus

0:29

said, you did not choose me, but

0:31

I chose you. And a point to do

0:34

that you should go and bear fruit in

0:36

first. John were also reminded that we love

0:38

God because he first loved

0:40

us. If you're single, it's even

0:42

easier to feel unwanted. But

0:44

in Christ, we can rest in the assurance

0:46

that Jesus loved us first and that

0:48

he chose us even before we chose

0:51

him. What comfort that is for

0:53

us today. For more on God's wonderful

0:55
