Chosen - You find Him

I used to wonder why I longed to know who Jesus was. I went to different churches during my childhood, often sat at the back of the room, bored, not understanding a word, but deep inside I was searching for something. At 15 I started going to raves, night clubs, drinking and wearing certain clothes which just thinking about makes me cringe. None of that gave me what I was desperately in need of, an inner peace and sense of belonging. I went through some traumatic and tough times growing up, not knowing where I would actually end up, suicide seeming like the best option, but towards the end of my teens 18-19, I ended up in a place where I always wanted to be, but didn't believe I deserved to be, which was the Presence of God. I stopped going to church at 14 but found myself in a church 4 and a half years later.

When you are chosen by God, it doesn't matter where your life is heading, you will some how find Him. He selected us even before we were born, that's why all throughout our childhood and teenage years we never fitted in with the crowd. We always felt different and were also treated differently by others, even by our own family. We could not put a finger on it, but there was a longing for something more than this world could offer. We cried, we suffered, we went through hell but some how we made it through, like something was keeping us going, even when we were at the bottom of the pit. That was God, watching over His chosen, waiting for the moment we recognised Him and called out to Him. Then He came to our rescue and here we are today.

Many people who are chosen by God don't even know that they are yet, but they will know, I believe this. They may have even left God and gone back to the filthy life they came from or even worse, but they will come back to God, sooner or later because He has not given up on His chosen. There is still hope for them.
