THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
IT WAS NOT YOU WHO CHOSE GOD, BUT HE WHO CHOSE YOU
You have been APPROVED by Almighty God! When He created you in His image, He looked upon you with satisfaction and stamped His “Made by Almighty God” seal of approval. You are cherished in His sight, and His favor envelops you like a SHIELD. It was not you who chose God, but He who chose YOU, and He DELIGHTS in you—His most TREASURED creation. The scripture doesn’t state that God’s approval is contingent on your perfection or absence of mistakes. Rather, God’s approval is UNCONDITIONAL. Regardless of how many flaws you BELIEVE you possess, or how often you STUMBLE, it’s important to RISE again and stand TALL. Do NOT let the adversary introduce conflict into your life by deceiving you into feeling “NOT good enough.” Remain FIRM in your self-perception, SECURE in the knowledge that you are NOT only CHOSEN but also APPROVED by Almighty God.
Today’s Scripture:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you…”
Jeremiah 1:5, ESV
