TODAY'S VERSE: 1/3/21 Day 11

“But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.  You are a kingdom of priests.  God’s holy nation, his very own possession.  This is so you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.”  1 Peter 2:9

 

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

People often base their self-concept on their accomplishments or possessions. But our relationship with Christ is far more important than our jobs, successes, wealth, stuff or knowledge. We have been chosen by God as his very own, and we have been called to represent him to others. Remember that your value comes from being one of God’s children, not from what you can achieve or own. You have worth because of what God does, not because of what you do.

We are a “royal priesthood.”  Every member is a minister and every part of the body is needed to make the body of Christ function well. There are no insignificant parts in the Body. Every person in the body of Christ can do something to show others the goodness of God. 

Some people choose to give up something for Lent. Others choose to take up something for Lent. I have accepted the “40acts” challenge to try to do a random act of kindness every day during Lent to show someone the goodness of God.

On the darkest days when I feel inadequate, unloved and unworthy, I remember whose daughter I am, and I straighten my crown.

TODAY'S PRAYER:

Thank you, God for adopting us into your royal family and for making us your own. Please help us to “reach out to the world around us and share your everlasting love of Jesus Christ!” Please help us to be a “spirited, growing, Christ-centered community filled with hope!” In Jesus’ name, AMEN
