Bib Verse Like
John 15:16: You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide.

 It is difficult to pick a favourite verse from the Bible, but I heard this passage recently and it resonated with me. It reminded me of our vocations in general, whether it be to the married, single, religious or priestly state; we are called by God to our various vocations in life and our willingness to cooperate with Him will give us peace just as St Augustine says that our hearts are restless until they find their rest in God.

 Hau, 29, Port Pirie
