"And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” Acts 10:39-43

"A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:14-15 NKJV

You were chosen and prayed for by Jesus just as the disciples in the upper room were. The world may not see Jesus, but it does see Christians. What are they seeing in you as Jesus abides in you?

Do you feel like you are in a "Time Out?" You have a heart for service or ministry, or maybe you have a vision, but it feels like nothing is happening. Paul can relate, and he will tell you that God has a plan!

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

- Hebrews 12:1-2
