As Small As I Am

Scripture Reading: John 15:16

“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.”

"Lord in Heaven above, why did you pick me to love? Why you love me, I can’t understand.” Have you ever said these words in your head? I have said it so many times. I do not understand why God would choose me to love when there are so many others in the world. He knew my short-comings, the mistakes I would make, the wrong turns I would take before He ever created me, and yet He still CHOSE me! How amazing is that?

I am very small in His large creation, but He still gave me the wonderful gift of eternal life. The Bible says in John 15:16, “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.”

The song goes on to say, “I see others more worthy of Jesus than me, yet He loves me as small as I am.” HE LOVES ME!!!! You can put your name there. He is no respecter of persons. He loves you too! He just wants to know if you love Him enough to let Him “wipe off your sins and put you on your feet again” and go out and bring forth fruit.

Do you know without a doubt that God loves you as small as you may feel? Are you willing to allow Him to wipe you off and go to work for His Kingdom?
