"Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.” And, “He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them. But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. “Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.” - 1 Peter 2:7-9 (NLT)
To everyone who's ever been told, "You're just like (whomever)..." By the grace of God, I'm here to tell you that according to scripture, that's clearly not the case. YOU are more than a conqueror. YOU are a unique individual. YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made. YOU are the head, and NOT the tail. YOU are above and NOT beneath. YOU are the the salt of the earth. YOU are blessed and Highly favored. Truthfully... YOU are just like YOU.
