(1 Peter 2:4-5 The Message)
The Living Stone
Rock of our salvation
Rock of our refuge
Immovable
Unchanging
Everlasting
The source of life
And yet rejected
So we wouldn’t be
Chosen by the Father
To suffer in our place
For our sins
Because He loves us
So completely
He longs for our hearts
Our lives
Mind, body, soul
To be building stones
Devoted to Him
To His glory
“But the Lord has become my High Tower and Defense,
and my God the Rock of my refuge.” (Psalm 94:22 AMP)
Rejection hurts so deeply
But we can be safe and loved
In our Rock of refuge
And remember
The Rock of our salvation
Who was rejected
More than all of us together
Even God forsook Him
So we would never be forsaken
By God and His forgiving love
Even if people do
Because we are His beloved
His cherished ones
Incomprehensible love
For you
For me
Do you feel forsaken?
Do you struggle with rejection?
I hope you find beautiful soul rest in these truths!
