"you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in Him will never be put to shame.'"
You are building me to be what You would have me to be. You are molding me to offer the sacrifices You want from me. You are training me to run to the Cornerstone, despised and not esteemed, but chosen and precious. I run into this territory, this landscape of death to me and life to You, and I find that I am being built to look like the Cornerstone, being made in His image. Run toward shame and ignore the shame. Ignore the shame and find that nothing can shame me here. Unashamed, Yours. Chosen and precious.
