No longer strangers

After Ephesians 2:11-22

We are no longer strangers,

no longer aliens, foreign

to each other and ourselves.

We are now brethren,

citizens of the same nation,

members of the same house,

a household of solid foundation,

the only one that lasts,

enfolded and protected 

by the one cornerstone,

what holds us together,

what holds it all together,

a household under construction

for transformation as a temple,

indwelled.
