You have been handpicked ~ You have been redeemed

"... He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world... For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ...In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcoming, and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His own gracious favor, Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence)..." Ephesians 1: 4-8 AMPC

Erase any and all the things the world has told you, and fill your mind, heart, body, and soul with these verses.  Read and re-read them until they sink way down deep into your soul.  Ask God to help glorify these verses through and within you, and ask Him to reveal just how important, beautiful, successful, and amazing you truly are.  

My friend, you are redeemed, you are forgiven, you are hand picked, and you are the apple of God's eyes.  Whatever else you've been told can be removed from your mind.  How?  Focus on God, and focus on His Word.  I guarantee, the more you fill your mind with Him, the more beautiful your life becomes - inside and out.

Change

"But Amos stood up to Amaziah: "I never set up to be a preacher, never had plans to be a preacher.  I raised cattle and pruned trees.  Then God took me out of the farm and said, 'Go preach to my people Israel.'

Amos 14:15 MSG

God can make changes in our lives in a split second! He can put us on paths and give us positions of greatness that we've never expected.  

Answer God's call - you've been blessed, chosen, and anointed; you are chosen to be His light and to show that He can make you shine in the face of impossibility.  

Yes, my friend, your life is going to go from good to great - you are a world changer thanks be to Christ Jesus.

You've been sought!

You've been blessed!

You are anointed!

Answer HIS call!

To God be all the glory on this new venture for you!!

God never quits

“… and pass the word among the nations, “God reigns!”… Give thanks to God – he is good and his love never quits…” 1 Chronicles 30-33 MSG

One: God reigns – he is the One and Only.

Two:  God never stops loving you.

Hence, no matter how many mistakes you’ve made, and will make, God will never stop loving you, nor will he stop from giving you the blessings in life that he’s had planned out for you since before you were ever born.

Backfire

"... Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good..." Genesis 50:19-21, The Message 

No need to repay evil for evil, because when you wait on God, He will make sure that all evil planned against you backfire on those who planned it in the first place.

This God-given life.

“So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakend and drooping hands and strengthen your feebled and palsied and tottering knees, [Isa. 35:3]

And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths go in the right directions], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be out of joint but rather may be cured.” Hebrews 12:12-13 AMPC

In other words, stand up and fight for this God-given life of yours ~ stand up and live like God has planned for you to do!!

 

The handiwork of God

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Chris Jesus [born anew] that we may do the good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” Ephesians 2:10 AMPC

You are the handiwork of God, you have been hand-picked by the Creator of the universe, and you have a predestined plan awaiting for you!  Therefore, let go of all your frustrations, anger, past mistakes, fears, and regret, and let God do what needs to be done to get you on the right path.  One way or another, He will get you there, so make it simple on yourself and LET HIM!
