I am not the strongest

but Your strength is made PERFECT in my weakness

I am not the smartest,

but Your wisdom confounds the wisest of men

I am not the fastest

but the race does not always go to the swift

and you make my feet like the hind’s feet so that I can LEAP to higher and higher heights

I am not the richest

but You own the cattle on a thousand hills

and have freely given me ALL things in Christ Jesus

I am not the most powerful

but the same power that raised Jesus from the dead

that defeated Death itself

dwells in me

I am not a person of great importance

but You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords

and I am Your child, and Your Bride

I am not influential

but You hold the hearts of kings in Your hand

I am not

…

much

But You, O God, HAVE CHOSEN ME

not because I am strong

or beautiful

or wise

or rich

or influential

or even good

or kind

or patient

or helpful

You have chosen me because You love me

You KNOW me, and you love me

You are with me, I am not alone

You created me. I am known
