This Mrng as I was reading “Jesus Calling“, I came to understand more fully why I sometimes struggle with the idea of GOD CHOOSING ME to be on HIS Team!

The phrase that leapt off the page for me was: “Remember, I am on your side….” (May 8)

If you’ve never been picked last, simply because you’re the ONLY ONE LEFT in line, you don’t know one of the deepest pains known to mankind.

BeenThere, DoneThat!!
TooManyTimes!!

In hindsight, I can see how easy it was for the teacher to pick two kids (always the best) and let them take turns choosing. Did anybody know/see/understand/care
about the pain inflicted on us who were always last?

A lifetime later, I recognize it as one of the reasons I sometimes resist the idea that

GOD CHOOSES ME!

“Who, ME?!”

“YES, My Son, YOU!!“

“I want YOU as a member of MY Team FAMILY!”
