"They have not chosen me," he said,
"But I have chosen them!"
Brave—Broken hearted statement—
Uttered in Bethlehem!
I could not have told it,
But since Jesus dared—
Sovereign! Know a Daisy
They dishonor shared!
Emily Dickinson

interesting revelation. often times i used to wonder if i really chose God but lately i realize that he chose me and that left me with little to no choice but to choose Him. wonderful...simply brilliant. i must admit though, the part about 'Daisy' kind of goes over my head. |

Jesus has chosen people called disciples, and this means there is choice from anywhere and anyone, so choice is made by everybody, and that means God has chosen certain things for his people. People have been chosen. People have been punished. They have been annexed by God, but the mercy is shown by taking them by choice. It is brave of this man to make the statement of choice, and he suffers for it. It is positioned in the place called Bethlehem.
The whole dishonour is shared because it is obvious that choices have been made. |
