Chosen

1 Peter 2:4 — As you come to him, the living Stone - rejected by humans but chosen and precious to him…

Who I once was

I no longer

recognize.

What I once did

I no longer

desire.

Where I once belonged

I no longer

do.

I lost

all that mattered,

I was left

battered and thrown away.

Until You, Lord,

stretched out Your mighty hand

and pulled my

weary face

up to Yours -

beloved

You called me,

chosen

You declared me,

precious

You named me -

and I knew

who I was,

what I was made for,

and where I was going

for the first time.
