Scripture

1 Peter 1:1-12 (BSFL*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

I have chosen you to be with me throughout eternity. Your time on earth is temporary. You are like a stranger who is visiting for only a short time. However, your inheritance is secure. It will not spoil. It will not fade. The experiences you have in this life serve to strengthen your faith and help you to love Me more. Share your faith to lead others to Me.

What I said to God

How special! You have chosen me and it is your great pleasure to give me an inheritance that cannot be diminished by any person or event on earth. How dare I not share You with others!
