Celebrity Status
Celebrity Status
you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9
you are .. holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession. Deuteronomy 14:2
Everybody's a celebrity in somebody's eyes. The high-profile, obvious ones might be athletes, olympians, singers, or movie stars. It could be a mom or dad to a young child, or perhaps an older sibling. Maybe a student would have a teacher who filled that role, or a ball player, a coach.
Perhaps someone you don't even know thinks of you as some sort of celebrity. Your smile might light up the day for a weary check-out person at the market, and buoy up his outlook. Or the elderly receptionist handling the front desk in the office may think of you as a celebrity-type, because each day you take an interest and ask how the family's doing. Or maybe you are the only person in months who has thanked the hardworking person who's cleaning the turnpike restroom, and to her you might have celebrity status.
Whether you're aware of it or not, you're a celebrity in God's eyes.
He made you. (Genesis 1:26,28 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image... God blessed them)
He loves you. (John 16:27 the Father himself loves you) (Revelation 1:6 To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen)
He paid a high price to have a relationship with you. (1 Corinthians 7:23)
And, you are always on His mind (Isaiah 49 15,16 "I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.)
Enjoy your celebrity status today. Walk in it, knowing that in Somebody's eyes, you are just that, a celebrity.
That's good news.
