Prince or Pauper?
Which are you?
Have I made you to drown in lack and exist in stress? Have I made you to settle for less than my best, to wander aimlessly thinking that my grace and favour are for everyone but you?
No, you are my sons and daughters. You have a seat at my table, right next to me.
You have authority and a purpose. A royal role that matters to my world. Brush off the pauper mentality. Change into the robes that fit you, and step into your rightful position.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Romans 8:19 (NIV)
