Small Seed for 12-23-14

God Chose You.

"...God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." Colossians 3:12

Focus on those first three words. GOD CHOSE YOU

How does that change your day? Your life? 

For me, I'm tearing up as I type this. It changes everything. I can't wrap my head around it. God chose me. Why? I'm so undeserving. So broken. A mess. A sinner. And yet, he loves me. He wants me. He chose me.

How can I respond to that? He tells us how. "clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience". 

Each day is new and fresh. We will fail, but He chose us. We can start again. Trying to be more like Christ.

How does this verse affect you?
