We all want to be chosen, and most of us have felt the pain of being passed over, overlooked or chosen last for something. Some would say we just need to "choose ourself" each day. But is that the best we can do? What would it mean if the God of the Universe chose you to be His treasured possession not based on anything you have to perform or do?

Sometimes an accurate diagnosis, even if it isn't what we want to hear, can be good news. It means that we can start looking for a solution rather than wondering, "What is wrong with me?" The Bible looks our problem straight in the eye and offers a surprising solution, presenting what really is the best news we will ever hear. (ft. Daniel Nealon, Associate Pastor at Deer Creek Church).

Part of your identity if you belong to Christ is an adopted son or daughter. God chose you to be His, and has put His Spirit in you so the you can have intimacy and security with Him and all the inheritance He promises by grace through faith. And that changes everything!

Do human beings have intrinsic value? Or is our value only based on being, having or doing? The Bible tells us that our identity is settled and unshakeable because we are made in the image of God.
