Welcome home

You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home. Ephesians 2 : 19 – 22 MSG

Each time I read this verse it triggers something in my heart. It’s such a powerful reminder that each one of us is part of one great family : The body of Christ and that no matter what circumstances we came from that God has a plan for us , a unique place in His kingdom that only we can fill . He is using us and will continue to use us to build His kingdom for His glory with His son, Jesus Christ, as the cornerstone.
