Many Are Called, Few Chosen

How does one retain chosen status

What sets us apart

Life marks us all

Even similar situations doesn't guarantee similar responses from us necessarily

Some become bitter and give up

while other chose a more positive course

Scars of life don't have to make you ugly

Life's storms we weather make us who we are

but even more accepting God's course...ah, that defines us

Will we become emotionally leathery and hard to touch

Or will we chose a higher path

All of us go through things someone else has suffered

But will we transform under God's grace

or simply wither and fade

Tribulation often feels isolating

But everyone goes through it

You might say it's a beautiful struggle

Each triumph and lost effects us

Humanity is shaped by this eternal struggle

We cling to this mortal coil

and how we respond shapes the outcome of so many things

What's our role

On the tree of life are we unique

The Bible says to be holy as He is holy...but the choice is yours
