Once, Now.

1 peter 2:10, AB rephrased

        Once
you had no identity as a person
        Now you are God’s daughter.
        Once you received no mercy;
        Now you have received God’s mercy.

Once your identity was rooted in your surroundings.
Once your identity was based on who you were around.
Once your identity was as unsettled as a wave of the sea.

Now you are royalty.
Now you carry authority.
Now you walk in confidence.
Now you are ok with brokenness.
Now you can accept love.
