“See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1a NLT

God chose us. 

Created us from the dust of the earth out of the overflow of his loving heart. 

Made in the image of His beautiful face. 

He formed us to operate with Him. To steward creation. Trusting us to cultivate each moment into something that reflects his nature and gives Him glory. 

When we choose to be chosen, confess our sins and receive the gift of salvation offered to us by Jesus, we are now co-heirs with Christ. 

We are born into a new kingdom and given an eternal family. 

He calls us His children, breaking us from every lie, accusation and belief that tells us that we don’t belong. The kingdom is about family. You have a part to play and a Father to lean on. 

We are a church beautified and empowered by the Holy Spirit, the gift and deposit Jesus released to us as He returned to the Father. 

A promise of what is to come and the source of an abundant life. 

What does it mean to you to be chosen?
