Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. — John 15:16 KJV
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. — John 15:16 NIV
Thought and Reflection
Were you ever chosen last? Did you happen to be the person nobody wanted to join your team? It’s amazing the fact that God chose us through Jesus Christ! Isn’t it incredible that we’re beloved and desired by Jesus Christ, the King of the Ages. And, not only that, we were not picked out of compassion and to make an impact. We’re selected to produce fruit that will last.
In order to ensure the productivity, Jesus has promised we could ask God’s blessing for our work in the Kingdom of God and that He promises to reward us. Praise God.
My Prayer
Dear Father, grant me a heart that is willing to work with You and a view as vast as Your love. I pray for things that will bring glory to You and expand the boundaries of Your kingdom and go beyond the narrow items that often keep me from my goal. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
