This world can take a toll on your ego and self-esteem. There is no doubt that when you start to feel as if you have things going your way, something will come up to show you that you don't. And, from time to time, it is easy to allow yourself to get in the dumps about your plight in life. I am sure that we probably all do from time to time.
It is easy to allow ourselves to listen to the lies of others, especially satan, when they tell us how little we have accomplished, how little we are valued, how little we will ever be worth. However, that is not what we need to listen to. We need to listen to our Father, the One Who loved us so much that He gave His Own SON so that we could have a relationship with Him.
Today's word is 1 Peter 2:9a, NIV, which reads, "But you are a chose people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, GOD'S special possession..."
Whenever we start to feel down, beaten by this world in which we live, we need to remember that today does not define us. We are defined by the One that we belong to. Just as I am an American, just as I carry my father's last name, just as I am a member of my church, I am part of GOD'S chosen people, And, so are you.
You are far more than anything you could ever imagine. You have more value than you could ever comprehend. You are more loved than you could ever reciprocate. You are part of "a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, GOD'S special possession."
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
