Okay,have you ever been shopping for the right purse? You can look and look,pick one up,put it down,pick up another and on and on until you find the perfect one,that just seems to be calling out your name. You look at it,and you know with all your heart,this is the one,this is the one I pick.You carry it with such joy and happiness. It becomes your little "precious",and others will look and say,"Wow,what a great purse!" My friends who are reading this right now are laughing,because they have been with me shopping and know I go straight to the purses. Other friends of mine love shoes,not just shoes,but some like wild print on their shoes,high heels,but for me,I love my cowboy boots. Nothing feels so grand on your feet,unless,it flip flops,now there is a shoe of my heart. I can pick those out by color,and think,okay which one will go with this outfit. Yes, you girls know what I am talking about. Picking out the right whatever it may be brings such joy. Its a peace that only a shopper can have. We get to pick out many things in our lives or so we think we do. We choose many things we want in our lives,even our friends,or so we think.God really chooses them and places them in our paths. It feels really good to be able to choose something,doesn't it? The one thing we have in our lives that we didn't chose is Jesus. And He is the most amazing thing that will ever touch our lives. In John 15:16-17 it says "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit,and that your fruit should remain,that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.These things I command you,that you love one another."Wow,how awesome is that,God chose us!" The feeling we have when we pick up something that just feels right,thats how He feels when He chose us. Can you imagine the glory in Heaven when He chooses us? He loves us so much,we are so unique and so special,He picked us! I cannot even fathom Him picking me,but He loves me even though I am not worthy. He not only picked us,but He wants us to go and tell, to show our fruits for Him. As when we are shopping we pick out what catches our eye,we grab it up,and carry it everywhere,for all to see. Jesus wants us to go everywhere with the gift of love He has given us and go and share it with everyone we meet. It would be like having a big purse party.We send out all the invitations, giving all the information on how to get there,then we tell them just how awesome it will be.Once they see what we have,they too are going to want it,and it just keeps spreading from there. Its an amazing feeling to think that Jesus picked me.Doesn't that make you feel special? Just one of a kind,that He picked out for His glory,for me to be a servant of His and share all that He has done for me,and who He is. Just as I love going purse shopping with my girls to pick out that perfect one,Jesus loves doing His own kind of picking....
