Scripture
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)

Look no further for proof. We’re all part of a royal family, ordained and chosen by God alone. You may think this sounds like a pretty good deal yet wonder where your palace is being hidden as you wait for the footman to deliver the keys

 

Some days, the last thing we feel is special or chosen, but when the struggles of life are overwhelming, there is an opportunity to climb out of the darkness and into God’s light.

 

The beauty of having a relationship with God is that He desires nothing but the best for you. He wants you to grow and be challenged. To find your voice and help the oppressed. To lend a hand and your heart to those in need. To fearlessly live up to your fullest potential. To rest in the fact that you are chosen.

 

When disappointment rages from worldly pain, remember God has marked you as His own. When temptation feels too big to turn away from, God has given you an escape hatch. As Peter tells us, we are God’s special possession. You are front and center in the eyes of our Lord—always.
