1 Peter 1:1-2

This letter is from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.

I am writing to God's chosen people who are living as foreigners in the lands of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, the province of Asia, and Bithynia. God the Father chose you long ago, and the Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed Jesus Christ and are cleansed by his blood.

May you have more and more of God's special favor and wonderful peace. (NLT)

 God chose you. Long before the world was ever created, God chose you. The Holy Spirit has drawn you to the Lord Jesus Christ and Jesus has cleansed you by His blood. God’s special favor and wonderful peace is upon you. God’s favor and peace is not something that you are to keep to yourself, but it is to be shared with everyone. Some will receive it and some will not, do not be discouraged but keep on giving as God in Christ has given to you. Take some time and think about this – God loved me enough to choose me, God loved me enough to give me purpose, God cared enough to take the time to be with me, God cared enough to send Jesus for me.

Lord fill me with your love that I can give it away as you have given me your love. Help me daily Lord to be loving and obedient to you and always willing to do your will

 

Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
