Here is my devotion that I wrote for Friday, Jan. 11, 2008 to give you an idea of what to expect.

Jesus Said: I Have Chosen You 01.11.08

"Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 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. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." (John 15:15-21, KJV)

Do you remember the day you accepted Jesus into your heart?
You felt great, scared, nervous and probably every other emotion known all at once, however there was a peace about you as if a big weight had been lifted off of your back. No matter what you were facing you knew that everything was going to be alright because you now had Jesus right there with you to get you through it.

As you grew closer to Him you began to fall away from friends and even family that were not so understanding about your new found outlook on life and friend that you replaced them with. They criticized you, called you names, made up stories about you, stopped talking to you, and some were down right hateful toward you, especially toward anything you had to say about believing in Jesus.

Sound familar to you?
The world will never understand the relationship between a true Christian and Jesus. They will persecute you until the end, mainly because they are lost and fear what lies ahead of them. You will never find a person that believes in Jesus fearing death because we know what lies ahead of us. We are the chosen ones, the true and faithful that will rise above all that the world throws at us.

Yes, Jesus has chosen you! You just did not wake up one morning and say "I think I will accept Jesus today". Jesus was right there guiding you and working on you and when He knew you were ready and willing to accept the responsibility He revealed Himself to you. Whether He lead someone to you or told you Himself, He let you know that you are not a servant, you are His friend and He has ordained and chosen you to go forth and bare much fruit. This means to grow in Him and flourish as learn more and tell others about Him.

So, you keep letting them call you a Jesus freak, and letting them tell you that are brainwahsed and do not know what you are talking about. The more they do it the more you know you are closer to Jesus and do not be offended by what they say or do. They have no clue what they are doing and are just trying to hurt you and bring you down to their level. Simply say God bless you and thank you.

God Bless,
Christina
