Chosen

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
Ephesians 1:4

Chosen
I never knew my parents and I grew up in a children’s home.

One day, a couple appeared because they wanted to adopt a child. I saw them standing there, making their choice – and I wished they would pick me. I longed for a home, for a father and a mother, but they chose someone else.

The years passed. Many couples came and chose – but I remained. I hoped and wished with all my heart to belong somewhere! But no one wanted me. Once I asked our housemother, “Doesn’t anyone want to have me?” She shrugged and said, “I don’t know. Maybe someone will choose you one day!” But that never happened.

Later, I got to know other places: group homes, transitional homes, prisons. Now I have been in prison for many years. Here, some time ago, I heard about Jesus Christ for the first time. A preacher read the Bible with us and explained how much God loves us. That’s when I accepted the Lord Jesus as my Saviour and started reading God’s Word.

Once, I came across the passage: “… just as He chose us in Him ... and predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ” (verse 5). What a discovery: God has chosen and accepted me! Through rebirth, I have become His child and now belong to the family of God.

Today’s reading: Exodus 30:1-16 · Luke 12:35-48
