Why God Choose Me…

I’m just an ordinary human being with just as many struggles as the next person. I sin daily and hurt my Jesus. I am in no means perfect; after all I am human and He made us so He knows how imperfect I am. I try to do good by human standards. I try to make good choices too but sometimes I just don’t do either of those very well.

So why would God chose me?! Why would He chose me to take His LOVE to people around the world?! I truly don’t have an answer. I don’t know why God choose me. This thought and question has left me humbled. There has been such an abundance of gratitude come over me the past few days. It is a huge responsibility to “represent” my Jesus well! WOW…kind of a large burden to carry by most people’s standards however, when God is the one in control – it’s honestly not my job to “represent” – it’s my job to listen to the promptings of Jesus and follow what He desires of me. My job is to serve Him well.

On June 6^th I wrote in my journal, “I am honored that God would CHOSE ME to partner with the WR and GO!! It's humbling that God would even think of me, let alone chose me for this amazing ministry.”

That sentiment still echoes from the bottom of my heart, how grateful and humbled I am! I pray that I never lose sight of that.

Yesterday while on my way home from work, I heard a favorite Casting Crowns song, Until the Whole World Hears and talk about goose bumps?! My heart was spilling over with gratefulness and excitement. WOW… the thought that God CHOOSE ME to take HIS love and gospel to the WORLD --- I am BLESSED beyond imagination and description♥

Last night while at work, I received an email from an old friend. As I read the words and their blunt honesty, big elephant tears rolled down my cheeks and I was humbled yet again. God choose me! I am in awe of the fact that God will use the weak and broken things of this world to serve and minister to others. PTL!!

“But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise;
God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” I Corinthians 1:27

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness
of the power will be of God and not from ourselves.” II Corinthians 4:7

“Father, please help me NEVER forget this feeling, this gratefulness of how YOU can take a broken and sinful human and redeem them by YOUR blood and use them to bring YOU glory! I feel so speechless – that YOU would choose me, but I am SO thankful – SO excited to see You continue to work and I’m truly AMAZED at how YOU have drawn each step of my life to somehow honor You; despite my selfish decisions. THANK YOU Jesus!!”

UNTIL THEY ALL HEAR... keep shining for Jesus!!
