I absolutely love this verse! It's hard for me to pick a favorite verse, but this one definitely makes the top 10:
Isaiah 41:9 ~ "I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you."
I love how the book of Isaiah displays the forgiveness of God. It is amazing how often God's people ignored him and worshiped other gods despite all the times he showed himself to them. It is even more amazing how often God showed the people his forgiveness. This verse is such a reminder that, despite my sin, God has chosen me. He didn't choose me because I was the best or because I was a convenient choice. God reached to the farthest corners and the ends of the earth for me. What I love most about this verse is that, despite the fact that God knows my every sin and knows me better than I know myself, he has not rejected me. That is something I will always find comfort with.
