Psalm 118:19-22
Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank You that You have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
How could the builders not see the beauty and perfection of that Cornerstone? How can the world not see that You are the One who heals, the One who restores, the one who makes all things whole and good? But, Lord, in Your goodness and mercy, You called to me and gave me the ears to hear, You quickened my heart to call out to You for mercy and salvation and I am Yours. You have opened the gates of righteousness to me and given me free and unrestricted entry into Your kingdom. Praise You, my Lord and my Master.
