My child, I have chosen you and made you to be holy before Me, that you may live a new life before others.
Because I have chosen you while you were still My enemy, you can be merciful to others, as I have been merciful to you.
Because I have shown you My love by dying for you before you loved Me, you can be humble towards others, for I chose you after the world discarded you.
Because I have shown you kindness by making you one of My holy people, you can show kindness to those who have been rejected and condemned.
Because I have received you with gentleness towards your wounds rather than harshness toward your failings, you can be gentle with those who have not known gentle treatment.
Because I am endlessly patient with you, My love, express that same patience to those around you, for this is how others will see My life lived out on earth.
