“HE CHOSE US!”

 Ephesians 1:4-5                     (ESV)

“Even as “HE CHOSE US” in HIM before THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD that we should be HOLY and BLAMELESS before HIM.  In love HE predestined us for adoption to HIMSELF as sons through JESUS CHRIST, ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE OF HIS WILL,”

John 15:16                    (ESV)

“YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, but I CHOSE YOU  AND APPOINTED YOU that YOU SHOULD GO and bear fruit and that YOUR FRUIT SHOULD ABIDE, so that WHATEVER YOU ASK the FATHER in MY NAME, HE MAY GIVE IT TO YOU.”

Others could be tired of me writing about being CHOSEN, but when you have always been near the “proverbial” bottom of the barrel, even I have to be reminded just how BLESSED I am!!!  

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT is CONSIDERABLY “able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20) patiently waits for us to SPIRITUALLY mature so that we can receive what HE HAS PLANNED for???

Not that I deserve ANYTHING from HIM, but “HE CHOSE US” in HIM before THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD to perform HIS WORK on HIS timetable!!!
