Many times, I’ve always thought that being chosen by God and being a royal priesthood literally meant carrying myself like a princess and associating only with the people who carry a certain status, i believed that it’s the place God wanted me be, just like John the baptist thought of Jesus.
This is what I realized, after being taught what the life of Jesus was like, Him being king, He never thought so highly of himself than the rest of the people around Him. Taking a look at the people He hanged out with; the poor, the sick, the blind, deaf and actually the dead, and what He did was to give the life.
This is it, being chosen means that I have been called to join God in the work He’s doing, how do I know Gods work, through getting to understand the work which Jesus did, because that’s exactly what God sent Him to do. Through serving the poor, that’s how i know that I am serving God.
Being chosen is special and pleasing to the person being chosen, I therefore don’t take it lightly that I was chosen, purposely to join God in the work He’s doing in the world, I now know that I am the right person to be used by God, I know that He sees me and He will watch over the work He started to see that it’s accomplished.
I’ve got to be observant, seeking to find out the different situations the people around me are going through and intervene accordingly just like Jesus did. Being chosen calls for service, that’s how I show the world that God has chosen me, because that’s the mind that was in Christ Jesus.
