Collecting rocks can be a fun hobby. The problem with a rock collection is that those rocks will always just be, well, rocks. They might be pretty and unique, but they’re still rocks. The Bible tells us that we, as Christians, are kind of like rocks (“living stones”), but we were never meant to exist as individual rocks. We were meant to be more like bricks, because bricks can become something more than just bricks. They can become a house. If you want to grow as a disciple, that’s a good place to start- viewing yourself more like brick than a precious jewel.
