As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God 

chosen 

and

precious, 

you yourselves 

like living stones 

are being built up as a spiritual house, 

to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:4-5 ESV

Not only is construction underway of this community made of living stones, of which we are a part, made up of not some select group, but of all of us, we also are becoming a holy priesthood, who get to meet with God, commune with Him, and bring Him something in response.

Hebrews 13:15 describes that as "the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name", Romans 12:1 as our bodies!

Who we are, how we live in the world, what we say, what we do...that is our worship. 

We don't have to worry about being good enough, meeting the standard, being acceptable, because we are 

chosen

and 

precious

We are being built up. 

We are a work in progress.

Today, simply bring who you are, nothing more, nothing less.
