I am Chosen (Lk 6: 12-19)

Jesus went all night to pray, listening and perhaps bargaining with the Father as well regarding the choosing of the twelve. Then from among the many disciples He chose them. It’s like ‘take it or leave it’, only with an attitude: confidence in God. We should be thankful to God we are chosen too, ordinary as we all are but called to do extra ordinary things. It also means Jesus has put His confidence in us because He prayed first before He chose us. The most beautiful truth about this is He chose us not ‘because of’ but ‘in spite of’. Indeed, what a great God we have in our midst!
