we have been chosen by God

we have been chosen by God

to be added to the family

grafted into the vine

new sheep of His flock.

we are called to Him

God woos us

we are chosen, wanted

by our Creator God.

what an awesome thought

what joy in that fact

that the Creator of the universe

wants each of us.
