READ 1 Peter 2:9-10
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. 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.
May I suggest that you look directly into the mirror as you read the following words aloud to yourself:
Because Christ’s redemption
I am a new creation of great worth.
I am deeply loved,
completely forgiven,
fully pleasing,
totally accepted by God,
and absolutely complete in Christ.
There has never been another person like me
in the history of humankind,
nor will there be.
God has made me an original,
one of a kind, really somebody!
