I have an old picture of me with my siblings from when I was 20 years old. Every time I look at it what stands out to me is the fact that I do not look like my siblings. If one were to look at them, one could tell their are related, but not me. I kind of stand out like a sore thumb. I had theories over the years that I was adopted and never told about it.

This morning I read from 1 Peter 2 about who those who follow Jesus are:
“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.”
It caused me to wonder if I stand out in the way I live. Does my life show Jesus to others? Does it show that I am a member of a royal priesthood? Do I show the love of Jesus to others?
Jesus does not come into our lives just for us to selfishly enjoy our relationship with him. He wants us to share him and his love with others. He wants our lives to exemplify him.
My desire today is to reflect Jesus to those I come in contact with.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
