I am chosen.

"I didn't choose him, he chose me."  That reality came at me today like a freight train.  I was doing my devotions this morning from my Utmost for his Highest and it was about committing to Gods purpose and one of the verses he uses was John 15: 16-19.  Jesus says that he chose use we did not choose him and he chose us to go and bear fruit.  We have to be in Gods hands to do as he pleases.  Our purpose is to  witness so others can be placed on the Rock, Jesus Christ, just as we were placed.  After reading this over and over again it was like I finally got it.  This is my answer to everyone who questions why we would uproot our life and move to Cheyenne.  "I have to, we are chosen and we must go."  Yes we can refuse.  We can always refuse but going against what God wants us to do is a dangerous place to be.  I want to be in his will always.  We were created to serve him and bring Glory to him.  That is it.  EVERYTHING that we do as christians should be about serving him.  Our job, our friends, our spare time.  Deuteromy 28:14 says "woe to you if you turn aside, to the left or to the right".   We can't do that. We have spent our whole life doing things that we wanted to do.  It is now time to do what God is telling us to do.  He is not "asking" us to go, he is TELLING us to go and we have to obey whether we understand or not.  I am going to go willingly and with a happy heart.  I want to see the beauty that God is going to create out of this.  It is time to get excited and praise him for what he is doing.
