In Others’ Words: Chosen

God has picked me.

God has chosen me.

All those times I felt invisible . . . ignored . . . unwanted . . . less than . . .

God wanted me.

If only I had worried less about all the people I was trying to please, jumping up and down, waving my hands, shouting, “Hey! I’m over here! How am I doing?” — and stopped long enough to look up and realize the eternal, a-ma-zing Creator-God of the universe loves me.

All the time. 

No matter what.

What a difference it would have made back then … what a difference it makes now, every day, when I embrace the precious truth that God picked me.

“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands …” (Isaiah 49: 16 NIV)

In Your Words: When did you realize that God loves you — that he chose you? Do you have a special verse or quote that reminds you of this truth? I’d love to have you share it!
