Chosen to go and bear fruit:

John 15:16

16 “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

             

            God didn’t choose us so that we might have a wonderful life. He chose us to go and bear fruit. If a fruit-bearing tree doesn’t bear fruit, it is useless and needs to be dug up. We are fruit-bearing trees and as so need to bear fruit. A fruit tree doesn’t spend all day straining to bear fruit. It does so naturally. It doesn’t even have to think about it. We should be the same. We should bear fruit without having to put forth a lot of effort. It should happen naturally. When we walk in the Holy Spirit, we should be bearing fruit wherever we go. We shouldn’t have to strain to do it. Allowing Him to live His life in us will cause us to bear fruit as we go about our every day life.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "I have chosen you, My children … not to sit around and do nothing; but to go forth into the world and bear fruit – to bring people unto Me. It is not for you to decide whether or not you should do this. I have already decided it and have put it into motion. You can try to fight against the pricks, but you will only wind up hurting yourself. Do not resist My will for you. You will receive much joy and will see many come into the Kingdom if you will only let Me use you in the way that I desire. You will see many great miracles happen in My name if you will only trust Me to do what I have said that I will do.”

            3. God hand-picked me that I might be a bearer of fruit. The fruit that I bear is that of His nature.
