Reflection on Today's Verse
You are not an outsider anymore. Through Christ, you have been brought near, adopted, and given a seat at God’s table. The world may label you as unworthy, overlooked, or forgotten, but heaven calls you family. You are not a guest who has to prove yourself—you are a citizen of His kingdom and a child in His household.
Walk today with the quiet confidence of belonging, not because of what you’ve done, but because of what Christ has done for you.
Personal Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for making me part of Your household through the blood of Christ. I no longer stand outside, but belong in Your family by grace.
Help me to live with the assurance of my place in You, and to extend that same welcome to others who feel like strangers. May my life reflect the love and unity of Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
