A Blessing for the Holy Nation

You’re part of

“A holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9)—

A “set apart” people,

Uniquely made for God,

Privileged to enjoy His presence

To the full.

Holy isn’t what you do,

Child of God,

It’s who you are.

Does a bride toss aside her diamond?

Does a sports buff scrap his Michael Jordan autograph?

Does a guitarist bash his vintage Martin D28?

NO.

Whatever is highly prized

Is “set apart.”

May you live from

Your holiness today—

Not for it!

You’re forever

Part of a holy nation,

Prized and set apart

For God alone.
