We are chosen

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own very special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

1 Peter2:9

It such a joy and honour when you are inform by someone that you are chosen for some important event or awards. I am sure most of people will feel excited and this verse tell us that God, who is King of kings choose us. God who is high above choose us; isn't that should be something that we should be rejoicing.

As life goes on, critics on us keep increasing and at times it make us wondering who we are and make us feel worthless. We kept being envy of someone who is famous because being someone who is famous is also meaning that people recognise their identity. 

But bible tell us the opposite, word of God say that we are His child, friend and partners. He said that we are chosen. We have an identity and one that we should proudly declare to the world. No matter what people tell you that how bad you are and how useless you, don't keep it in your heart because God say that you are His own very special people.

People doesn't create us but God does. This can explain why God know us better than the rest. Let God determine what you should be and not people. When God create and choose us, He had our life all plan out. God doesn't control us but He is just merely guide us. God say we are created in Christ for good work and God prepare us beforehand so that we will walk in them(Ephesians 2:10). 

Live your life by letting God tell you who are and not let people decide who you are because you are God's chosen and His very own special people. Enjoy this identity that God has given to you. Ask God today in your prayer; what is the purpose of Him choosing you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as I come before You in humility, I just want to thank you for choosing me to be Your child, friend and very own special people. Let me know the purpose of You choosing me, O Lord. Let You, O Lord, alone determine who I am and not people around. Let me from this day onwards, live the to the fullness of the identity that You have set for me. Amen.
