1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV) 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…
We are a chosen people, Lord, and we are crying out to you with a sincere heart, wanting to walk in your light.
We are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Your own special people. You called us out of darkness. We belong to you.
Being fake and phony about our walk with You only hurts us and others we come in contact with.
If they think we are a believer and then they see us doing things that unbelievers do, well, that just makes people question You and who we say You are.
We are sorry if we have just been going through the motions.
We repent if we have learned the Church “lingo”, but deep down we have not changed our lifestyle, our words or our actions. We have been living a fake life.
We have not fooled You and we don’t fool others. They can tell by our ways who and what we follow. Having a Bible in one hand and the things of the world in the other won’t cut it any longer.
Today we sincerely cry out to You, God. Forgive us.
We want all of You. We want your teachings to touch our hearts and change us, that we may walk in your ways each day. That we may share love, and not hate. That we may not gossip, but turn away from those conversations that may lead us to. That we may not be negative but instead, speak words of encouragement into situations and the people around us.
Help us God today to walk in Your marvelous light. Amen.
