#35

I do not see myself as a writer. Never mind that this is my 35th message for Web Women Connect. Never mind that I am currently halfway through writing my first Bible study.

“Writer” just isn't part of the picture I see when I look at my life – but that doesn't make it any less true.
Just because I don't see it, understand it, or grasp it, doesn't mean it isn't true. Truth is independent of me.

1 Peter 2:9 says this:
“...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.”


Me?
A chosen person?
A royal priest?
A citizen of a holy nation?


Sitting here, writing this at my kitchen table, surrounded by dishes and following a disagreement with one of my children, these words don't ring very true.
That doesn't mean they aren't.
These things are said about those who follow Jesus as their Savior and Lord – that includes me.

Yes -I am one of the Chosen People,
I am part of the Royal Priesthood and
a member of the Holy Nation, whether
I feel it or not.

Feelings don't make truth,
God does.
