YOU ARE A WORK OF ART

 

YOU ARE A WORK OF ART

Eph. 2:9-10 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. NLT

"You are a real work of art." Do you know that? You have been created by God in Jesus to be a real and pure reflection of who He is. We are not self-made when we are in Christ. Who we become depends on our willingness to let go of ourselves and let the Spirit of Christ do what He wants to do in us. We cannot take credit for the changes that take place in us. We cannot boast about anything except what Jesus is doing in us.

You are God's masterpiece. Let those words sink deep within your mind and soul. You are not just a work of art; you are a masterpiece created by God himself. THE master artist of all time. There is no one who can create beauty better than God can. There never has been and never will be anyone who can come anywhere close. You are uniquely and wonderfully created by God to be who you are. You are a somebody. You are not who others may say you are. Any thoughts of your being anything less than God's masterpiece originates in the mind of Satan.

God has made you the way you are so that you can do the good things He planned for you to do long, long ago. There are things that only you can do well. God has made you so that they can be done in the best possible way. No one can take your place in doing what God planned for you to do. He will raise up others to get the job done if you don't do your part, but He prefers that you do it.

God wants YOU. You are His masterpiece in Christ Jesus to do the work He planned for you to do before you were ever born. God wants you to see His handiwork in you. He wants you to see yourself through His eyes. Praise the Lord today for who you are in Him and for the role He has given you to fill in His kingdom.
