God's Own
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9 Amplified
You are God's own! Think about that. God, the Creator of the universe and all it contains has chosen you as His own. Jesus paid the price for your entrance into God's kingdom and by His blood you have been called out of darkness and made a special person to God Himself. Through Christ, you are holy, you are part of God's royal priesthood. He wants you and loves you right where you are and just as you are.
No need to try and fix yourself up for God. You cannot change yourself with out His help anyway so come as you are and meet the One who has chosen you. Let go of all your preconceived notions of Who He is and what He wants. Discover who God is for yourself. Seek Him out and honestly talk to Him about your cares, concerns, plans and dreams. Ask for His help and guidance and do what He says. You are God's own and when you ask for His help you will get it.
Allow the Light of Christ to shine through you regardless of your past. I saw a preacher put a light in two vases. One vase was perfect and beautiful and the other had several cracks and holes. When the light was turned on in the first vase you couldn't see it but when the light was turned on in the second you could. God's light shines through our imperfections and radiates His goodness to those around us. He uses all that we give Him to demonstrate His great love. You are God's own light to those around you who don't know Him.
You are God's own, His favorite, His beloved, His treasure, and His desire. You are special and valuable to God. Don't refuse yourself access to what He has given you.
Receive the precious gift of God's love and remind yourself constantly that you are God's own.
