Chosen By God

Verse of the day - John 15:18 (NRSV)

If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.

In chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus tells us that we were chosen by Him.

Excerpt from Called By God

My dear children, you are chosen by Me.  I call you to be My own.  Follow in My Ways, for My Ways lead to paths of righteousness.  Be not afraid to walk in My Ways.  Many times, My dear children are afraid to follow Me due to fear of persecution.  They are afraid of what other people may think if they follow Me instead of the ways of the world.  Have no fear My dear little ones.  While I was on earth, I was persecuted.  If I was persecuted, so will My followers be also.   Be bold in your faith and do not let fear stop you from what I call you to do.

I consider it an honor to be chosen by God.  We are each called by God in our own way to serve Him.  When we commit our ways to God, He will show us which path of life He desires us to take.  The question is, "How will we know we are following the will of God?" "How can we discern what Jesus desires us to do?"  If Jesus places a desire for us to do a certain thing in life, we will feel peace about it.  If we do not feel peace about it, it means that we should not do what we want to do. God's Will for our life will only bring a sense of peace.  Step by step, when we walk on the path of life with Jesus, He will mold us into what He desires us to be.
