You have to celebrate your chosenness constantly. This means saying "thank you" to God for having chosen you, and "thank you" to all who remind you of your chosenness. Gratitude is the most fruitful way of deepening your consciousness that you are not an "accident," but a divine choice.https://www.christianitytoday.com/pastors/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2025/12/ogimage.png?resize=1200,6281200628
