The Rejected Becomes the Respected
I have been reading in Matthew about Jesus being the Cornerstone, the One everything is built on. Thing is, Jesus, was rejected by many in his ministry. Rejected by those who should have embraced Him. So what did God do? He took what was rejected and made Him the most important! haha! The Cornerstone of the whole building!! hahaha! God had the last say!
***
Then Jesus asked them, “Didn’t you ever read this in the Scriptures? ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.’
Matthew 21:42-43 NLT

God loves using the lowly, undesirable, rejected, foolish things of this world. He loves the underdog! haha! This morning, I felt the Lord saying, "Just as I was able to flip the script with Jesus from rejected to respected, so I can do for My children!" (Thinking even about the life of Joseph and how God was able to take him from the prison to the palace in one day!)
Here's this morning's raw entry in my time with the Lord:
I am making a way that others have tried to stop, block. I am forging a path that others have sniped at. I am brushing off the dust of books from long ago that have been brushed off themselves.
Yes, I am brushing off the brushed off. The rejected. The ones that have been put in the corner and told to hush. The ones who have said that they have no voice and no place to stand or sit or rest. I am taking what has been hidden and making it seen. I am taking back those who have been tossed out and not allowed 'on the big screen'! I am opening paths to those who have been stuck, wheels turning in the muck. Forgotten by most, but not the Most High! I am opening things now to them and their limit is the sky! hahaha! For I am cracking the glass ceiling and letting them soar right out into the atmosphere where they will say,
"No more!
No more grave clothes for me!
No more hiding in the shadows, afraid to be
who You have made me to be!
No more wishing on stars,
wishful thinking.
It's only
and a HOPE that keeps on ticking!"
How this gives Me such delight! When My children come into their purpose! When they take flight like a kite and know for certain that they are My gem, My beauty, My focus!
