“You did not choose me, but I chose you” John 15:16

You and I tend to think that we made this wonderful decision for Jesus and should somehow be involved in the path of our life. Jesus would respond “You missed it again”!

Jesus said that you have not chosen Me. I have chosen you. Not only has Jesus chosen you but He has foreordained His path for your life. You come to Jesus because the Spirit of God bears witness with your inner spirit that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. The decision making started with God not with you.

Your responsibility as a believer is to walk with God and be a light for Him. This is a life of prayer and praise, filling yourself with His Word, and living in oneness with God through His Spirit.

God does not want you to think for Him, plan for Him, or try to determine His purposes for you. He knows you better than you know yourself and His ways are perfect.

God simply wants you to trust Him for your every need and be obedient to the leading of His Spirit. This is how you can please God.

The purposes of God will stay hidden below your consciousness until God chooses to reveal them to you. As you grow in spiritual maturity, it can be even more difficult to figure out God’s plan for your life.

The best course of action is to focus on how you can please God today and forget about the future. You cannot chart out your life because you are not God.

He has chosen your path!

Thought for the day! “I am the beginning and the end. I chose you before you were born and My Spirit lives in you. Follow Me and I will show you the abundant life. I am a perfect God.”
