The Choice Wasn’t Mine

By Wanda

sw_fake_ballot_sa03045I have made a lot of choices in my life.

I chose the car I drive.

I chose the home I live in.

I chose the college I attended.

I choose the clothes I wear.

I choose the food I eat.

I choose the television program I watch.

Many, many choices to be made during the course of day and even more during the course of a lifetime but there is one choice I didn’t make.

I didn’t choose Jesus. Yep, you heard right. The most important choice one can make in life and I didn’t really make the decision.

Nope something far greater happened, Jesus chose me. Yes, me…Wanda.

John 15:16 (NLT) You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.

    Yes indeed. SO thankful that He did and that you surrendered to His pursuit making it the perfect love story.

    Thank you for stopping by, Wanda. It was good to see your name pop up. Blessings!
