You are not always "chosen" in life...whether it's for a job, promotion at work, to be on a sports team, by a potential mate, etc. There is always someone there to take your position...someone always better than you. However, by reading this book, you will learn that God has CHOSEN YOU! From the moment you were came into existence, He was creating you to be the person He desired you to be.

You have gifts, blessings, possibilities, potential. You are a loved by God and He wants you to know that HE CHOOSES YOU!

I appreciate NetGalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is a powerful book for a world where we are losing our youth and even adults who feel lost unloved, and unwanted. Many have experienced not being chosen in life,in school, for a job promotion,or the one that your heart was set on loving didn't chose to love you back..
But, rejoice because The One created you, wrote your story before you were conceived, chose YOU! You're not here on accident, no matter if you were planned or a surprise(as I was-the unexpected twin). God chose you from beginning of time! I'm reminded of lyrics from "More Than You Think I Am" by Danny Gokey:"I'm more than you dreamed
More than you understand
Your days and your times
Were destined for our dance
I catch all your tears
Burn your name on my heart
Be still and trust my plan"
This book opened my eyes that were blinded by thoughts of rejection and reminded me of how much God loves me and He has a plan and is in control. I have a purpose, I'm Chosen!

You Are Chosen touches the deepest part of me and hopefully you too - you are Chosen - Chosen by GOD. HE Chose you for HIMSELF to be your loving FATHER. Like it says in his Word, "GOD's Chosen people, Holy and Dearly loved." Colossians 3:12. In doing that we are now all brothers and sisters with each other and CHRIST - wow what a big family we have now that we have been Vhosen. That is just the beginning of the book it just gets better from there.

Good devotional very inspriing and inspirational. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of the book in return for my honest review.

To be fair, this book was just not for me. I didn't realize the heavy Christian emphasis from the book description (such as it was).
My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Happy Reading!

Sometimes in life you are not chosen. Work, sport, partners, you are put aside, and it seems that there is always someone better than you.
The author talks of her past in the local sport team of the school and I smiled. Like her I was chosen at the end not being into sport a lot.

In this book, You are Chosen Inspiration to Reassure your Soul by Darlene Sala by Barbour, you will understand that you are not alone, and that God has chosen you from the first moment of your existence, when you were just still a little egg penetrated by a sperm in the belly of a girl and you started to become a creature of God.
You had to be here and just for this reason your existence deserves all the best.

If sometimes this society can't appreciate everyone God surely appreciate the gifts He donated to you, all your potentialities and He is close to you in every second of your existence, also when you think that He is distant and distracted.

Many example of common men and women about God's Touch in their existence.

Another wonderful book by Barbour for reflecting about God's Word and its impact in our existence.

I thank NetGalley and Barbour for this ebook!
