If you've ever built something, you know how critical it is to have the right pieces. If you're starting off with pieces that are cut wrong, then you'll never get back to even. It's like doing a puzzle where half the pieces are from the wrong puzzle. In this case, what God does is even more impressive, because God is working with living stones, which tend to shift around, but God is able to work this into something marvelous, something magnificent, despite our common habit of shifting out of place.
Jesus was rejected because the Pharisees were focused on building a house based on their design, not God's, so they were looking for the wrong pieces. In the same way, when you face rejection in this life, may you find comfort in the knowledge that God has chosen you, that God favors you, and that God's love will eternally surround you.
