Rejection (Psalm 118:22)

Betrayed by one He trusted
Sold out and out of favour
Rejected in favour of another
Tossed aside as though worthless
Misunderstood and missed the point
Lonely and yet never alone
He was despised and rejected
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
Stricken, afflicted, crushed, and lifeless
In his rejection he was so much more
The very stone the builders rejected has become the critical cornerstone, upon whom my faith finds its firm foundation.  By those painful, bloody wounds my own heart is healed.  Choosing to believe His claim of me as chosen and precious, I will build upon Him.

Psalm 118:22
Isaiah 53:3-5
1 Peter 2:4-5
