CHOSEN & PREDESTINED & ELECT & ORDAINED

YOU ARE CHOSEN, PREDESTINED, ELECT & ORDAINED

Stop Worrying

17^th July 2015

Always a big debate about this. “Has God really chosen you”? Does He even know or care about you? Does He see where you are or have slipped to the bottom of the list with all the new ones above you? Because you haven't prayed enough or read the bible enough the devil is whispering, "You're history"!! Really? Yes of course we have responsibility to keep Christ our first love, carry our cross and walk closer everyday - However, never forget that you are planned, loved and purposed more than you could ever know. It's a journey of hope, mercy and grace and faith is the upward path not downhill failure and condemnation - Let new hope arise in your heart today because truly if you have even read this far it's because you are chosen :)

38 verses to reassure you that your life is held in the safest, strongest hands in the entire universe. Father knew already that you were coming - Ha! He planned you already: You are not a mistake or an accident but actually divinely appointed. Neither are you equal to the value any of your peers parents or siblings have placed upon you. Only Gods valuation of our lives is true and accurate. No longer allow people, Satan, your education, bank account, the mirror or yourself to provide the estimate as to what you think or feel you are worth. God thinks you are worth a lot He paid everything He had in Christ His dear Son to buy you back so that you can be His son also. So, Rest & Enjoy and walk closer with Him, He hopes you will do that.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with

 him also freely give us all things? -Romans 8:32
