God Chose the Right Person - Bill Winston Weekly Devotional (March-27-2023). SCRIPTURE: You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. (John 15:16)
DEVOTIONAL: Let’s never get this confused: We didn’t choose God. He chose us. Then He assigned us a purpose. You did not pick out your divine purpose, nor did you pick out various aspects of your personality. You may think that your desires or specific passions were just randomly acquired. No, my friend! God placed many of those passions inside of you. Nobody goes to the superstore of Heaven and says, “I’m going to choose this talent, and I want a little artistic ability, and I want to be a world-class athlete too.” No. He put your gifts in you as it pleased Him.
