The Watered Soul: The Real ID

The Real ID

1 Peter 2:10 Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy. (NLT)

Ask the question, who are you, and you are likely to hear a myriad of responses ranging from a person’s family role to their job title. Yet those pale in comparison to being identified as one of God’s people. I like The Message version of that verse which says, from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving

Blessings!

At November 24, 2010 at 8:08 AM , BLUEBUTTERFLY said...: This is a very timely word. Too many leave the families and friends after Thanksgiving celebrations feeling "less than" instead of more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. It is important to know our real identity.

At November 24, 2010 at 5:21 PM , Bernadine said...: So thankful that I am His!
At November 24, 2010 at 5:28 PM , Janis Van Keuren said...: Giving thanks that the Lord has accepted me and blessed me. I like "from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted." How often do we feel rejected in this world. So wonderful to know that there's acceptance in the Lord through Christ's sacrifice for us.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving,
Janis
