"God chose the weaqk things of the world, that He might put the strong to shame." Well, I have to look no further than my own life to see that. Some by my own bad choices, and some by just a life of bad "luck", but looking at myself, I can see I'm not what "the world" would call a "success".When I was younger,I thought not advancing myself would be "the easy way out",I didn't believe in "no pain no gain."So in my immature mindset , when opportunitities presented themselves, I didn't seize them. But since mistakes you make "back then" carry over, when I grew up I wasn't at the level I "should have been".{Also, I was a firstborn and my mother spoiled me, making it easy for me, which as I got older didn't help. Now, at middle age, both my parents are gone, I don't have a "million dollar job", the one girl who loved me unconditionally I lost out on because I "wasn't ready" in my immature mindset,Hardly what the world would call a "winner",compared to others my age who "excelled."But here's the thing ...I look at it, and think, maybe this wasn't a coincidence after all.Maybe it was "set up that way".Maybe, {in my case} I had to be a loser in life to be chosen by God in the next world. "God chose the weak things of the world."Because I see those who made "sucesses" of themselves,yet are in sin , with their "million dollar "jobs they spend the money on booze and drugs, and their "beautiful wife" does the same. So God showed Himself to me, and I'll go to Heaven and {unless they repent}they'll go to hell. Rich man and Lazarus, anyone?

Be strong and full of joy in the Lord. All loosers in life come to Jesus and they become wonderful children of the living God. Never ever understimate the homeless, the drug addicts, the alcoholics you see in the street. Jesus loves them and wants to heal them. Wonderful things happens to those who come to Him and believe in all His promises.
I am so glad God is choosing today and will forever people who are weak, sick and full of sin. He wants to save them all, heal them and He want all of them in heaven.
