“And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple.” 1 Peter 2:5. It’s interesting that Peter likens us to stones, he didn’t say bricks or any other material. Why? Because stones are natural, they vary in size, texture, color, and have imperfections just like we have. Bricks are manmade, and all their qualities can be controlled by the brick maker, rendering them alike. God made us unique for a reason, he wants and needs our individuality. Each of us, when mortared into that spiritual temple, help form a one-of-a-kind creation, but more importantly, one of strong structural integrity. I find it so reassuring to know that I’m cemented into those ancient walls. I’m sharing space with big boulders and small rocks, granite and sandstone, all men and women of faith. Never consider your contribution to that structure as unimportant, rejoice in the knowledge that you are part of something that is altogether beautiful, valuable and indestructible.
