To Choose.

Def: To select from a number of possibilities; pick by preference

God has been speaking to me through this word a lot this week. It's in the book of haggai, where it hit me first. Haggai 2:23
"On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you Zerubbabel my servent, the son of Shealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you a signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts."
I just thought it was so neat that God chose us. And He did.

I went to watch the movie, "Date Night" with a friend today and the last words of the movie made my heart melt in a way that only Jesus can do. He said to his wife, "I'd do it all again, I'd choose you. I choose you everyday."
And God just brought this to light for me. He chose me. Out of a number of possibilities, He chose ME. He picked me by preference.

To choose is such a strong action. I believe that people take it for granted. Everyday we choose things. We choose right and wrong. We choose our every action of every moment of the day. Our choices make us who we are. We choose people to love and to spend time with and to be friends with. And if God chooses to be with us, well, I choose Him back. And I think if God chooses someone, then that someone should choose Him back. Period.
