But you are a
chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of
God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have
received mercy.

1 Peter 2.9-10
What a blessing to be a part
of the family of God! How fortunate to be adopted into
such a household! Where once I walked in total
darkness, now, by His grace, I walk in the warmth and beauty
of His marvelous light. Where once I stood alone, I am now a
citizen of a mighty nation ruled in righteousness by the
King of Kings. I deserved judgment. God showed me mercy!
Blessed be His name!
