But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. “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.”
- 1 Peter 2:9-10

Lord, open our eyes to the stunning reality of what You have made us - a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for Your own possession. Make us heralds of Your mercy as we proclaim Your excellencies to the world.
