Not Becuz...

I talked to a good friend one night about a week ago, our conversation kinda related to the trials of life. After putting down the phone, this is what I had in mind, a thought, a conclusion.

I was chosen,

~ to love
not because I can love,
but because I need love.

~ to serve
not because I am able,
but because I am not able.

~ to do
not what I am good at
but what I thought I could never do

~ chosen
not because of my righteousness,
but because of my unrighteousness.

not because of my good life,
but because of my sinful life.

not because of what I've done,
but because of what I cannot do.

~ taken in to live with God
not just to show my love for God,
but to be shown love.

not to live a better life,
but to spread true life.

All this is so,
so that I will depend solely on Him, and Him alone.
