This is The Daily for Thu, Oct 8, 2026, and do I have GREAT news for you!

Last night at FBC, we talked about how we are “chosen” by God. 

Ephesians 1:4-5
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

Here’s the GREAT news! You don’t have to EARN being chosen. Being “chosen” is a gift to you from God.  It’s grace – something you didn’t deserve, but He gave you because He loves you. 

If you find that you are exhausting yourself, performing day after day so you can be chosen by people, or to earn the approval of people, be blessed! You can stop performing. God doesn’t need or want your performance. 

He simply wants you. His grace will take care of the rest. 

Today, remember that you are chosen! Now, live like you’re chosen. 🙂 I love you guys! Could I be any more proud of you? Nope.
