For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.—
Ephesians 2:10 NLT
Yes, we are God’s masterpiece, His workmanship, His design. God handcrafted us and loves us with unconditional love His mercies flow. Our faith in Jesus allows us to born again, created anew. We are new in Christ. With a God-given plan for each of us. The Lord empowers us and prepares us, and the Holy Spirit enlightens our minds. Giving us the skills to focus, move forward, and empowering us to do good works.
Have you been created anew in Christ Jesus? Do you feel you are God’s masterpiece?
Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for your grace and unconditional love. For creating us anew, forgiven, and redeemed by Jesus’ blood. Help us to focus on being Your masterpiece and seeking Your will. Like the bold and bright Mallow flower, let us be bold while traveling Your bright path. Empower us to do the good works You have planned for us, and guide our path. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen
I always find it hard to see myself as His masterpiece( that word reminds me of perfection) but I have over the years realised that being His workmanship or masterpiece means He created me specifically for a reason and a purpose that He has made me for and enables me in Christ to fulfill.
Blessings to you Jeanne 💙.

Amen. Yes, help us to focus. Really need that prayer. Feeling more like a mess than a masterpiece. Attempting to sort those thoughts and feelings out and move forward with hope. I hope your week is lovely, Jeanne.

I don’t think most of us consider ourselves to be His masterpiece. However, when we have Jesus in our hearts and follow God’s path, we can do the good things that He planned for us. I know you have touched hearts with your poetry and blogs. My favorite quote by Mother Theresa is: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” Tina, have a wonder-filled week! 🌺🌼🌞
