Day Fifty-Three.
Verse: "'But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.'"
1 Peter 2:9
You are chosen. You have been chosen by God to do God's will, plan, and purpose for your life.
You might be thinking: Not me Caty. I am a nobody.
But you are not.
In Christ, you are:
You are beautiful. (Psalm 45:11)
You are unique. (Psalm 139:13)
You are loved. (Jeremiah 31:3)
You are special. (Ephesians 2:10)
You are created with a purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11)
You are cared for. (Ephesians 3:17-19)
You are lovely. (Daniel 12:3)
You are precious. ( 1 Corinthians 6:20)
You are strong. (Psalm 18:35)
You are important. (1 Peter 2:9)
You are forgiven. ( Psalm 103:12)
You are protected. (Psalm 121:3)
You are chosen. (John 15:16)
You are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)
In Christ, you are worth so much more than what people think of you or what social media says you are. You are not: what you do for a living. You are: a child of God!
God loves you so much. (John 3:16) God has chosen you for you to build His kingdom using your purpose. I can't tell you what your purpose is because only God can tell you. I can tell you that God has given you gifts and talents you probably already know you have. God didn't give you those gifts and talents by accident. He gave you those for your purpose to build His kingdom.
I know personally, part of my gifts and talents is I can write devotionals. God has given me that talent and gifts of writing to share His word. He also gave me the vision to start my ministry called: "Jesus Saves Ministry." Not in a million years did I ever think I would be writing devotionals, running a ministry, and running podcasts. But once I connected with God when I was 16, God gave me those gifts and talents through Him. Now I am using those gifts and talents to build His kingdom.

Once you let God into your heart: God will give you, your gifts and talents. God will show you how you can use those gifts and talents for His purpose for your life. You become a new person once you let God into your heart. You change, not on the outside, but on the inside. You become God's daughter or son. You become born again in Christ (I will do another devotional on being born again and how to be saved).
Let God into your heart and grab God's hand. God will show you his purpose and plan for your life. All you have to do: is run into His arms. God will show you the way. You just have to relax and trust in God. You also have to be willing to do whatever God asks of you. It might be scary but God will be by your side the whole side. God will love you and show you the way.
You are chosen!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that you come into my heart and show me the way. I pray you show me my gifts and talents. I pray you show me my purpose. Whatever you need me to do Lord, I will go and I will follow you. Just grab my hand and lead the way. I put my faith, hope, and trust in you Lord. So I pray you use me to build your kingdom because in you Lord, I am chosen.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.

The Meaning of Life
It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!" [Author here. This is my first time writing a story in RRL. Criticism is very welcome as long as it is educational and has some tips and bits of advice for me. I am still learning]
