“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
1 Peter 2:9
Early this morning on the radio, I heard the heartfelt testimonies of two different men as it related to hearing the voice of God at their lowest moments in life.
Amazingly, the song the first man wrote as a cry of praise to God, came out of a place of darkness and misery where he was battling the lies that the enemy had fed him about his worth. The second man then testified to feeling the voice of God reach him the very first time he heard the first man’s song. He then wrote a song that channeled the truth of the first man’s song.
Redemption is as overwhelming to receive as it is beautiful to embrace.
I was greatly moved, not only by the power of God to love us beyond our sin and filth, but really by the battles that these two adult men faced within about who they were and their worthiness in the eyes of God.
Sin can make us feel so very far from God.
But we serve such a good, merciful, Father, that no sin can ever keep us far enough that His hands cannot reach out to comfort us when we need it the most.
As I heard both men’s songs of testimony, the voice of God resonated with me too.
Then I recalled a good word I recently heard from a powerful messenger of God regarding God’s love.
I was reminded that much like these men, I too, was created distinctively by divine hands and was clothed in majesty and glory because the One who created me saw me worthy enough to form me in His Own likeness.
Friend, you too have been clothed! FINISH READING HERE
