You are a 'Somebody!'

"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession                                                                                                      

                                                                                           1 Peter 2:9-10.  CSB

If you have suffered rejection in your past, you may be insecure and have feelings that you are unloved and a 'Nobody'. Stop just there! God says that you are a 'Somebody', in fact, a chosen and special person - God's special possession. Now, I don't know about you but, to me, this sounds like you are a 'Somebody', not a 'Nobody'.

Things may have been difficult for you in the past. In childhood, you may have suffered various types of abuse, you may also have been classed as second best whereas, others may have been classed as special. This may have left you feeling totally rejected and unloved. You may have carried these insecurities into your adult life and consequently lived through broken relationships, because you couldn't trust anyone. You may have believed that everyone was the same and out to do you harm.

If this is you, let me remind you that Jesus has taken your role of being a 'Nobody' and has turned you into being a 'Somebody'. You may not be a Christian at this time, but God still looks upon you as a 'Somebody'. Being a Christian means that you are part of a holy nation or race, and a royal priesthood. But being a special person such as this, does not mean that you are perfect, far from it. But, you have been set apart to live for God.

On the other hand, you may have been a Christian for many years but, you recognise the symptoms of insecurity and rejection still. If this is so, allow Jesus to free you of it. When you became a Christian, you were rescued from darkness and brought into the light. In other words you eyes were opened. However, as I mentioned earlier, you are not perfect and probably carry scars of the past. Therefore, why not dedicate or re-dedicate your life to Jesus right now:

Lord Jesus, Please come into my life and help me; I really need You. Please forgive my sins and fill me with Your Holy Spirit and, be my Lord and Saviour. In Jesus' name I ask. Amen.

Now accept that you are a 'Somebody'. The devil lied to you calling you a 'Nobody'; ignore the lies and live each day for Jesus. 'Somebody's' go places, so get ready.
