You Are Chosen
You are not here by accident.
Before you were born, God already knew you. Before you ever chose Him, He chose you.
This Saturday we're beginning a journey together as women who know their identity in Christ.
💗 When was the first time you truly felt chosen by God?

📖 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you..." — John 15:16

I believe I first felt chosen by God when He brought me out of darkness and into His marvelous light.
There was a moment when God revealed Himself to me in such a powerful way that it felt as though heaven and earth had kissed. In that moment, I realized that I mattered to Him. I wasn't forgotten. I wasn't overlooked. I was the one He came after.
Jesus left the ninety nine to pursue me.
At the time, I wasn't truly living, I was simply surviving. Beneath the surface was so much hurt, pain, depression, and hopelessness. There were days when I wanted to give up. But even before I fully recognized Him, God had already begun drawing me. Looking back now, I can see His hand gently tugging at my heart.
I started sensing that there had to be something greater than the life I was living. Without anyone forcing me, I began changing. The music I listened to changed. I stopped smoking cigarettes. I stopped drinking. God was slowly pulling me closer to Himself, one step at a time.
That was my chosen moment.
Even today, it's hard for me to talk about it without getting emotional. If you knew the life I once lived and the things I endured, you would understand that only the hand of God could have brought me out of that darkness and transformed my life.
He didn't just rescue me. He gave me purpose, and He is still working in me today.
That's why Philippians 1:6 means so much to me:
"Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
I'm still a work in progress, but I'm living proof that when God chooses someone, He never gives up on them.
