Chosen

Music Notes

We give thanks for the opportunity for the ripples to go out from the little things we do to lift up those around us. We give thanks for the gift of life itself and the blessing of living in a world of wonders. We have been chosen for all of this and more. Thanks be to God.

What does it mean to be chosen? Paul calls the Christians in Thessalonica “beloved by God” and says that God has chosen them. It must have made them feel good. We know what it is to be chosen (or maybe we know the pain of not being chosen). We know about exclusion and inclusion. We understand what it means to be part of something bigger than ourselves, or we long to.
