"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you."

John 15

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." v16

As I was encouraged yesterday, I am equally encouraged today-that God chose me...knowing everything about me before I was even born - sin and all.  He appointed me in the sense that He wired me with faults and strengths all so I can glorify Him.  The fact that He thinks I am able to glorify Him is highly encouraging.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed great!  You wired me in a specific way and wired my life in a certain way - I am blessed beyond what I am able to do on my own.  Thank You Jesus!  But I am not worth such love and blessing...I am weak and too quick to anger.  Thank You again that You love me anyway but please forgive me for such sin and help me turn from such sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.
