This morning I posted this on the Rise & Shine Women's Retreat Facebook page. Wanted to share it with my blog friends as well. A good reminder that I often need and thought you might too!
We have been chosen. He isn't still deciding. He isn't "sizing us up." He knows our flaws. He's seen our mistakes and outright sin. BUT..."God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom 5:8) Let's receive and believe His love, seeing ourselves as He sees us...completely accepted and equipped to SHINE!
We didn't choose Him, He chose us (John 15:16) and nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38).
Let's choose to accept His acceptance, friends!
Lord, let the truth of Your love settle in our hearts. Amen
