I call you My steadfast ones, for you continue to persevere and endure. I also call you faithful because you have not turned back in times of tribulation and trials. You have faithfully pressed on to overcome adversity and have kept the faith. And, I call you blessed because you have stood in the face of difficulties and have not given up. You are My chosen ones and precious in My sight, says the Lord.

1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
