                        I Have Chosen You

   You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed 
   you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep 
   on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, 
   abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting 
   all that I AM], He may give it to you. John 15:17 (AMP)

I have chosen you.  I have chosen you to move out into the world, to bring 
forth change.  Love the unlovely, for I have chosen them also to walk with 
Me.  Choose My ways and stop judging them by standards I don't use.

I have chosen you that you might have life; abide in My ways.  Do not grow 
tired or discouraged. You are My creation and I have chosen you.

I have chosen you to be continually filled with My Spirit.  I have chosen 
you to be My light.  There are those who will not know of My Son without 
you.

You ask for a detailed map.  I have shown you My pathway. Continue to 
follow what I reveal.  It is through your unique character and abilities 
that My ways touch those around you.  I have chosen you.

I have chosen you to succeed, to prosper, and fulfill the purposes I have 
placed within you.
