Chosen One...

Harry Potter is what they call the "chosen one". People make fun of him for it, love him for it but in the sixth book, because I haven't read the seventh book yet, this is referred to all the time, talk about pressure. He is the one that is going to lead them into battle to fight and destroy the "one-we-do-not-speak-of".

I like the fact that people do not want to talk about the "owdnso". The only thing is that they do so out of fear, the characters in the book are afraid of "owdnso".

I feel that sometimes we give our savior the title" chosen one", but we are afraid of the devil, "the-one-we-do-speak-of". I am not claiming there is a devil, but that is note for another time because I want to talk about the chosen one. How he has conquered over death and given us life.

Col 3:12 says, "As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothes yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience".

This sounds so nice and easy, and it really is if we except the resurrection of Christ; for we "were also raised with him through faith in the power of God" for we are "God's chosen ones".

As an Irish writer put it, "There comes a point in many people's lives when they can no longer play the role they have chosen for themselves". We are not a "chosen wizard", but a "chosen child of God".
