The True You

The world often tries to define you by what you have, what you do, or the company you keep. But God sees you differently.

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 NIV

In the eyes of the Lord, you are not defined by your past mistakes or the labels that society might place on you. Instead, you are cherished and chosen to showcase the goodness of God’s love. Each day, God invites you to live out this truth and to reject the false narratives that can cloud your sense of self.

You are cherished and chosen to showcase the goodness of God’s love.

God empowers you to embrace your God-given identity and to walk confidently in the knowledge that you are never alone. God’s acceptance is not based on the shifting sands of human approval but on the solid rock of His eternal love for you.

Let this understanding fill you with peace and confidence. As you do, you’ll find that your need for external validation diminishes. You grow stronger in your faith and more resilient in your life’s journey. God’s truth about who you are becomes the anchor in both storms and still waters.

Today’s One Thing

Pray: “Lord, help me to see myself through Your eyes, embracing my true identity as a member of Your royal priesthood. When I am tempted to measure my worth by the world’s standards, remind me of Your unchanging love and the joy You find in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
