"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God...." I Peter 2:9
"...I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness." Jeremiah 31:3
Would you agree that there is no one who knows you better than yourself? You are the one who lives with you 24/7; you know when you get up and when you lie down....you know your own thoughts when no one around you has any idea of what you are thinking....you know exactly what makes you laugh and what makes you cry. Then how is it that we have such a skewed perspective of ourselves? We hear really thin people talk about how fat they are....physically beautiful people who question their own looks....etc. We all have our own favorite self-loathing beliefs. In reality, there is one who knows us better than ourselves-- our creator and redeemer. He says we are chosen, of royalty, holy, and loved with an everlasting love. That's amazing! The question is- How close is my self-perspective in alignment with what God believes about me? How about you?
