Word of the Year: CHOSEN.
Our guiding verse for this year is 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV 1984):
“But 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.”
As we step into this new year, may this truth be deeply rooted in our hearts—that we are chosen by God, called with purpose, and set apart to reflect His light to the world around us.
