“We know, dear brothers and sisters, that God loves you and has chosen you to be His own people.”
I remember playing basketball with my older brothers and their friends. Two captains would pick four people to complete their teams of five. I recall standing there, hoping to get picked, but because of my age and size, I was often underestimated and not chosen to play. It was a crushing feeling to not get picked to play. From the sideline, I’d watch the bigger guys play waiting for my chance to get in the game.
Praise God you don’t have to experience the same crushing feeling in life. You don’t have to watch life from the sideline. With God, there are no first picks or second picks. He loves you and chose you to be His own people. He created you to do good works and declared you to be the head and not the tail. You are above only, and never below. When others underestimate you, know that God doesn’t. You’re chosen. You’re equipped. You’re ready!

Heavenly Father, I know that You love me and have chosen me to be Your own. I was created in Christ Jesus to do good works. I am the head and not the tail. I am above only and never beneath. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
