It does not rush past distress. It speaks it. And then, it anchors itself in a deeper truth:\n\n“His Persistent-Love endures to the Eternity.”\n\nAt the center of this Psalm is a surprising declaration:\n“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”\n\nIn this episode, we explore how Jesus steps into this prayer, becoming the rejected stone who is raised and established by God. And we are invited not to build ourselves up, but to build on Him.\n\nWhat looks rejected is not wasted.\nWhat feels like failure is not the end of the story."}
