Some things just kind of stick in your mind, like when a little boy said, “I've learned that it makes me sad when I'm the last one chosen for the team. Have you ever had that happen to you?
Listen with RealAudio!I don’t remember being picked last, but I remember lots of times when I thought I would be. It was like being kicked in the stomach. The last one chosen—it’s just public disgrace; it hurts even to talk about it.
What I love about Jesus is that it doesn’t matter if I'm poor and dumb and clumsy and ugly. I’m still the one he chooses every time!
In John 15, he tells his followers, “You didn’t choose me, I chose you to produce beautiful fruit, so that whatever you ask of the Father it will be given.”
Chosen by God. What good news!
