"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
~1 Peter 2:9
I'm having one of those days where the idea of me being a royal priest seems farfetched if not outright repulsive. I must allow myself to realize that I am daily called out of darkness into His wonderful light. The idea that the Lord can repeatedly offer such an amazing position really should give me hope... in fact there is nothing from God that says I cannot step into this relationship with Him at any time, no matter how rediculous the thoughts swimming through my head concerning unworthiness.
The idea of belonging to God should absorb more of my attention and effort. In the past, being part of a team, with a clearly defined goal and mission has always brought the best from me. I know the Lord has given us a mission and a goal, but for some reason I'm not comprehending it enough for it to inspire the best of my devotion, discipline and efforts.
What will it take to get to a place where the goal is all I a think of, and my life is a mosaic of relationships and adventures all lending texture and color to the big picture of living as one of God's chosen...?
