“Chosen Out of the World”
📖 “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”
—John 15:19 (NKJV)
There’s a quiet kind of loneliness that comes with following Christ in a world that does not.
You walk differently.
You think differently.
You choose purity, truth, and love—and sometimes that sets you apart in uncomfortable ways.
But Jesus reminds you why:
“I chose you out of the world.”
You don’t belong to the world anymore.
You were called out of darkness into His marvelous light.
And that calling will, at times, come with opposition.
But it also comes with identity, purpose, and eternal belonging.
Sisters, you were not meant to blend in—you were meant to reflect Christ.
Let your light shine even when the world would rather you stay hidden.
Reflection Questions:
- Have you felt pressure to fit into worldly patterns or values?
- What does it mean to live as one “chosen out of the world”?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for calling me out of the world and into Your Kingdom. Strengthen me to walk boldly, love deeply, and reflect You even when the world rejects me. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
