Thus says the Lord, You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go out and bear fruit. John 15:16

Thank you Lord, that you chose me, a broken vessel, you appointed me a fallen sinner, to go out and bear fruit. Thank you Lord, that I am in the world, but not of the world, and many will hate me because of this, but you remind me in your word, that if they hate me, know that they hated you before they hated me, and if I were of the world, the world would love its own, but you chose me out of the world, therefore the world hates me. But, it’s ok, because I know that I am a branch off your vine, I feed off of you, you oh Lord abide in me and I in you, for a branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, and if I abide in you, and your words abide in me, I will ask whatever I desire and it shall be done for me. Thank you Lord for this assurance.
