30 Days to Confident Faithنموونە

Devotional:
Have you ever felt overlooked? Maybe you’ve been passed over for a promotion, left out of a group, or felt invisible in your own family. In John 15, Jesus is speaking to His disciples during His final hours on earth, preparing them for His departure. He’s assuring them that their calling wasn’t random—they were handpicked by the Son of God Himself.

In that time, disciples typically chose their rabbi. But Jesus flips this cultural expectation:“You didn’t choose me. I chose you.” Imagine how comforting this was for the disciples, many of whom were fishermen and ordinary men society had ignored. The Savior of the world said, “I see you. I want you. I choose you.”

I remember a season when I felt completely overlooked. I had stepped out in faith, saying yes to a calling that seemed far bigger than me. Yet, instead of doors swinging open, I faced rejection after rejection. The enemy whispered,“You’re not enough. You’re not equipped. God’s forgotten you.” But in prayer, God brought me back to this Scripture.

He whispered to my heart:“Daughter, I chose you. Before anyone doubted you, I appointed you. I am the One who opens doors, and no man can shut them.”

Confidence doesn’t come from being the most talented or popular. It comes from knowing the Creator of the universe personally selected you. If God chose you, then you are qualified. If God appointed you, then you are called. No rejection, no opinion, and no mistake can change that truth.

Maybe today you feel unseen. You’re not. God sees you, knows you, and has handpicked you for a purpose that will bear eternal fruit. Walk in that truth today.

Thought to Ponder:
How would I live differently if I fully believed I am chosen by God?

Prayer:
Father, thank You for choosing me even when I feel overlooked. Remind me daily that my identity is in You, not in people’s opinions. Give me the confidence to walk boldly in the calling You have placed on my life. Amen.
