God Chooses You

When I was in 3rd grade there were 1st graders that were bigger than me. So needless to say when it came to picking teams for kickball. It seemed that I was always last. At times I did not want to play just so I wouldn't be chosen last.

A couple of months ago on a Tuesday night someone came up with the great idea of having captains and choosing teams for basketball. You will never guess what happened.

It came to the end of choosing teams and the other captain said you can have Nate. Yes, I was chosen last. It brought back so many memories of my childhood. Funny, as an adult being picked last still bothers me. lol

I thought about being picked last and then in 1 Thessalonians 2:13-17 I read that God chose me. God loved me and chose me. God chooses each one of us to be on the first team. NO one is chosen last in God's eyes. YOU ALL ARE FIRST PICKS. Be encouraged God has a plan for you and he wants you on His team.

Now back to the Tuesday night basketball when I was chosen last. We play games to 11 counting 1 point for a basket and 2 points for a shot behind the three point line.

Well that night the first game I scored 5 of our 11 points , the second game I made 8 of the 11 points, and that happened all night. Maybe at the end of the night I reminded everyone that I was picked last and yet was the leading scorer, just maybe.

Thanks for reading.

IT IS ALL GOOD
