Have you ever wondered how many scriptures you have memorized? I have lots of pieces running through my head. I can be heard saying things like “There’s a verse that says something like……..

1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of of him who called you out of the darkness and into his marvelous light.” I remember the first time I ever felt utterly rejected.

I want to dive deeper into the theme that has thoroughly changed how I look at…
