The People of God

Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. — 2 Peter 2:10

At one time I was not a child of God.

I did not belong to the people of God.

But during this time of Lent, I am reminded of God's sacrifice for me, even before I knew Him.

He had mercy on me, and He still does.

I have received His mercy.

I am a child of God.

I belong to the family of God.

And I am thankful.
