John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and a bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Chosen
I'm yours...not because I made a conscious intelligible effort to be your friend or your follower. But your love overcame me and I was filled and taken captive by your mercy and grace. You Chose me.
Chosen to be your workers, and your likeness as we walk in your truth. You chose us.
No longer strangers, enemies, or orphans; but your children. We once exercised rebellion, but you sent love and love conquered our souls. We are confident in your love, it is more than life itself. Because of love we now know love. You have chosen rebels.
Oh the power of love to change an enemy into a loyal heir. We have been pursued, wooed, and so we stand under your constraints. Use us your chosen.
We lay down our roots of rebellion to be planted in your love, so that we may bear your fruit. Haven been freely loved, cared for, excepted, and forgiven we are free. We are now free to go for you.
All the power of our Father is at our disposal, because of Christ. He chose us, appointed us, and commissioned us.
We shall chose to love because we are loved by LOVE. We chose to give because nothing has been withheld in your love. We ask for your kingdom, because you have commanded it of us.
May we forever abide, stay, bask, sit, grow, be pruned and truly live only because of the choice Christ made. Amen
