I heard its said somewhere in the Bible that God chooses us, we don't choose Him. How come I was saved, and there are others who will never be saved? How come I was lucky, and they weren't? I wish I could open some peoples eyes, to help them understand what I understand... but they won't open their hearts.
How come God penetrated my heart?
M M M. It would be nice to see more folks surrender to Christ. the verse you are talking about is in John 15:16. It has to do with your position. A rain barrel can't catch rain turned upside down. It must be turned up to the sky. God is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh. Ya just gotta look up ever now and again to catch a little of it. God musta caught ya lookin up in the by and by. Just keep looking, and folks will get curious and look with ya!!! He said if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me. You do the liftin, he does the drawin. Don't get yourself in a lather about anything else. Just keep lookin up!!!!!
