"God Picks Us First"

Have you ever been picked last?  Everyone else was picked for the team in the playground and then they came to you.  It makes you feel like the lone looser.  Nobody wants you so the last team to choose gets stuck with you.  Or maybe you were the one that was always chosen first, but now your life seems to have slid into a place where you feel as if you are being picked last or worse yet, picked on.  In the whole game of life, you feel as if you are the looser still standing on the sideline watching the game instead of playing.  No matter how you feel your life is going, you need to know that you have been chosen for the winning team.  And, you weren’t an afterthought.  Before the foundations of the world, God was thinking about you.  He was dreaming about the day that you would be born.  He was picturing the day that you would realize He was waiting to have a relationship with you.  If you haven’t already, isn’t it time that you walk over to his side?  If you have already responded to Him, and you still feel like you something is amiss in your life, maybe you need to begin to stand next to the coach more often and listen to his strategies, encouragement, and affirmation.  God is waiting for you.  You are part of a dynasty.  Don’t keep your coach waiting.
