Pick me!!

There was a teacher who each day would choose a student to help her teach. She would line them up in a row and then walk back and forth and then pick one of them. Pick me!! Pick me!! They would shout, hoping it was their day. We love to be chosen for special things. It gives us the feeling that we belong to something special. An elite group. Did you know that if you trust and believe that Jesus is real, that he came and died and rose again to life, and that you profess this belief, that you have been chosen to be a part of the most elite family in all of history? It’s true!! It’s God’s family!! 1 Peter 2:9&10 says; 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 the 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! Let that soak in a bit! Read it again. If that doesn’t make you feel special, then I’m not sure what it would take. This royal priesthood is no temporary thing like being the teachers helper for the day. It’s for all eternity!! How does it feel to be royalty? It may not seem like it now but the day will come when it will be a very big deal and you will rejoice to be a part of it!! Thank you Jesus for being willing to give your life so that we could have the opportunity to be a part of your royal family!!
Have a great day!
