ROYALTY FOR DINNER
by Joanne Lowe
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew
forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light.”
1 Peter 2: 9
King James Version
A friend stopped by to see me the week of Christmas and
I had my Christmas China sitting on the table. She told
me how beautiful it looked sitting there. I said thank
you, but I think I spent my money foolishly because I
only see it a couple of weeks each year. She said that I
should use it every day.
Tonight while I was doing dishes this verse came to me.
If we have accepted Jesus into our hearts as our
Personal Saviour, then we are children of the King.
Every time we sit down to eat, there is royalty sitting
at the table because we belong to the King.
I started wondering why we don’t use our good china and
other good things and just save them for company. I
think many times it is because we don’t feel like we are
worth while; that we’re not important enough to use our
good things every day. I have been washed in the
Precious Blood of Jesus and His Royal Blood flows
through my veins and that makes me royalty.
Have you allowed Jesus to deposit His Royal Blood and
His Unconditional Love in your heart? You will never
know real happiness or peace until you make Him the King
of your heart and life. Thank God that one day this
Royal King adopted me into His Family.
