"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, The Bible (New International Version)
There are so many different voices and opinions to state who we should be or are.
It can be hard to follow someone else's view of you - from the sensible to the bizarre.
Some of us find our identities in the work we do, others of us just drfit along.
But if we don't understand how significant we are, then we'll do anything just to belong.
This scripture reminds us that in God's view, we are very special indeed.
He makes it clear we are chosen, a special possession - what great genes to succeed!
So if at any time you are unsure of the value that you have - both inside and out.
Then remember what God's view of you is - a status that you cannot do without.
