"You did not choose me; it was I who chose you and sent you to go and bear much fruit, fruit that will last." - John 15:16
It's a conscious effort to look for God everyday but you need to remember one thing, Jesus has chosen you and has called you by name, you specifically today. Those times you got the urge to pray eventhough it had been a while and that time you opened up the bible out of curiosity, that was the Lord working in you to draw you to Him. Jesus has chosen you, you are so important to Him. He has given you gifts and special abilities He hasn't given to anyone else and He's counting on you to bear fruit, to do His work here on earth. Think about who you can help today, think about what you can do to give hope to someone who needs it. How can you bear fruit and spread the love and truth of God to those that need it? There is no escaping the Lord and this is what you were put here on earth to do, don't disregard the call. You have no idea the wonders that God is preparing to work through you if you open your heart to do His work! This isn't like the work you do in school or at your job in which the ends benefit material things, but these works mean not only the salvation of your soul, but through you others will know and love God too. You will be preparing the paths for others to know the Lord and renew their hearts with His love. You will help bring the joy of the Lord to others and give them a new hope because you said yes to the Lord's call.
Today's Prayer:
Thank You Lord Jesus for calling me to be Your servant. I accept Your call with all my heart and with all my soul. You are my King and I want Your will to be done in me. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
