Treasure Hunt 1

DAY 1 OF 5

God Picked You, Special!

Hook 

Wouldn’t it be awesome to win a first-place trophy? Imagine winning that shiny golden trophy, and with a big smile, holding it high overhead to a cheering crowd! 

It feels terrific to get chosen first, to get treated special--but reality isn’t always so sweet…what about that time when you didn’t get chosen, or lost the competition, that time you got forgotten, or ignored? How did that make you feel? I know—you’d rather not remember! 

Maybe there have been times when you felt left behind or forgotten by others. But you don’t have to feel bad, because something, no, Someone picked you— special—and that Someone is the One that matters most of all—that’s right, God Himself! 

So where in the Bible does it talk about you getting chosen by God? Take a look…

Book

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
Ephesians 1:4 (NIRV)

Look

What does it say God did before He made the whole world?

That’s right, chose us! He actually chose us, before we existed, or before anything existed! That’s right, even before the creation of everything, God already planned you, designed you, and chose you to be His. That’s how much you mean to Him and how special He considers you! Wowza!

And, BTW, who is God? Well, He is just the most powerful, and important, and incredible One, of anytime, or anywhere! Nobody competes with God-- and He chose you to be His. Yup! Getting chosen by God is like the greatest thing imaginable! Better than the whole planet worth of trophies! Double wowza!

Took

So, there you have it. You may not have realized how much you mean to God-- but you mean the world to Him! And here is the important question for you today…

If God treasures you like that, then what does that mean for you? How should you act?

So, why don’t you take minute and thank Him that He is that good. Thank Him that He chose you. And tell him what you want to do because of it.

BTW, you ROCK!
