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 New International Version
God has given those that follow Christ a new identity. He calls us the Chosen. He says we are royal, holy and that we belong to Him. And, to what purpose has God bestowed such wonderful gifts? I believe one of the answers is to declare! God has blessed us so that we have the right and the freedom to echo His love in a broken world. When you realize you have been served, go out and serve. When you learn compassion, go out and live kindness. When you have been forgiven, go out and do the same. For before you and I were in darkness, but now we are children of light. Go out and shine!
