“While we were yet strangers, while we were far off, God brought us near through the blood of Christ.” Jesus said in John, “You didn’t choose Me, I chose you.” God handpicked you.

  Get your joy back. When you have your joy, you’re showing God that you trust Him. When the enemy brings trouble, he expects you to fall apart. But when you say, “Yet will I rejoice,” you give the enemy a nervous breakdown. If he can’t steal your joy, he can’t defeat you.

  We serve the Creator of the universe, the God who flung stars into space. And the God who chose you before you could choose Him. He knew you would face mountains, and He didn’t leave you on your own.

  You have to stir your faith up. When God heals you from the sickness, frees you from the addiction, turns your child around, people will see the goodness of God. He wants to make you an example.
