1 Peter 2:9But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
I grew up always afraid I will be loved by no one and thrown into the street. My mother left the country with all my unmarried siblings. I was left with my sister who by now hated me; a 9 year old lost child who eventually learned to please everyone. I spent my teenage years drawing all the different scenarios of how I would kill myself. I also became promiscuous
How did I meet Jesus? I went to a convent school and was given a new testament bible. I read that bible cover to cover. It meant nothing to me except one thing rang in my head over and over again: commit suicide and I will end up in hell. Is that not Jesus!?….
He gave me an outlet of drawing my death rather than actually doing it. He called me into the light but my fear and ignorance kept me from reaching out to Him. So He reached out to me in university but I walked away .
So my question now: Would my life have been any easier if I had reached out to Him earlier? What would He gave done different? Am I that special: a royal priesthood!!!!?
