Once you were not. But now you are.

But you are A CHOSEN RACE,
A royal PRIESTHOOD,
A HOLY NATION,
A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION,
so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him
who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
for you once were NOT A PEOPLE,
but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD;
you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY,
but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

1 Peter 2:9-10

    Ah, the glory of the new covenant! How beautifully represented by the newly opening, glorious blossom, some of it still hidden. Such hope!
