It’s a good feeling to be picked. Tomorrow is the Major League Baseball draft. Many amateur baseball players are going to be picked by an organization and begin pursuing a dream.
The NFL (football) draft is much more popular but the end result is about the same. Some young people are picked and the dream continues.
This is how professional sports organizations fill out their rosters.
There is another way we are picked. John 15:16 finds Jesus telling his disciples “ you did not choose me, but I chose you...”
You have been picked.
In this story no one has to wait nervously hoping they will get picked.
No one gets rejected.
No one gets forgotten.
Jesus picks all of us; you, me, all of us, to be his followers.
In sports some don’t like the team that picks them.
Some decide not to sign up at this time.
Some say no and go do something else.
But many say yes, and the dream moves forward.
You’ve been picked to know, love, and follow Jesus.
What will you do?
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.
Steve
