November 6 Echoes of Eternity
Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a purchased people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
I Peter 2:9
I make the light of My countenance to shine upon you. I look upon you with mercy and compassion, because I know who you are. Look on yourself not with disdain or despising. You are the work of My hands, and too much negative attention on your failures and faults is an exercise in self. There is a better way—rejoicing in My saving work, rejoicing in what I have accomplished for you, rejoicing in My incarnation and My complete identification with you. I became what you are without sinning, in order to lead you toward what you are yet to be. The light of My countenance still shines upon you, and the path before us still leads to your true destiny. So do not whine or repine. Rejoice in Me, and all I have given you.
