196 – You Are Chosen Without You Doing Anything<\/h5>\n

There is the old saying that you can pick your friends (and your nose) but not your family. We are born into a family without any actions on our part. We we’re chosen by our parents when they decided to make us.<\/p>\n

Now, some of us may have chosen to be born into a less dysfunctional family, but that’s not our choice.<\/p>\n

Our parents had us, even knowing we weren’t perfect. They knew we would rebel, we would be difficult, and we may even defy them. But despite all of that, we were born. Again, not everyone had a great family, not all we’re planned, and many of us went through great strugglw to love. But we we’re chosen for a reason.<\/p>\n

During worship, our pastor told us that God knew us before we were formed. He also knew that he would send Jesus in the flesh to heal the right between himan and God. Think about that for a second. God chose us even though he knew we would rebel, we would be difficult, and we would definitely. He knew he would have to sacrifice his only son for us. Yet and in spite, he still chose us.<\/p>\n
