First of all … it is HARD to choose just one verse when they are all so good and comforting and true! But today, I chose 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light!”
Oh what a joy to be Your “very own”. I love being Yours, Lord! I have been brought out of darkness into glorious light. Help me, Lord, to show others the way to this wonderful inheritance open to them as well. I want so much to “show others the goodness of God”. Please help me do this.
