The Chosen

The Chosen – Seventy Seven

     It is amazing to think that God chose you.  What is also fantastic is that you chose to be chosen.  There is a universal call given to all mankind to come to the Savior.  Millions hear this message every day.  Every day the call goes out all over the world and yet why is it that so few answer the call? 

     There are many reasons why people refuse.  Pride is one.  They think they can gain paradise lost through good works.  Others do not because the god of this world has blinded them from the truth.  Others have chosen to refuse because they care more about the things of this world than anything else.  Others refuse because it goes against their family or religion.  Yet the call it is still given.

     The call however is answered by those whose hearts have been touched by the Holy Spirit.  He has worked on their hearts and they have softened to the point where they are ready to hear and receive the message.  In that moment they leave the called, to the chosen.  The make themselves chosen by saying yes.  They have taken that step of faith to put their trust in the eternal God.  Some call this reckless abandonment to the things of this world. 

     The chosen make a decision to put their hope in someone they have never met.  Someone who live two thousand years ago and in most cases in a country thousands of miles away.  The message is good news to the perishing and dying.  It is goodness to those who know they need help.  In that moment of belief and trust they become chosen.  They have a new Father, new destiny, home, eternal purpose and direction. 

     God is calling today.  He wants all to draw near.  He says if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.  He will save, heal and deliver us.  We will have a new name, new purpose, destiny, plan and life.  Answer His call today and get everything you want and desire, because you are chosen.
