559: The Masterpiece of God | Ephesians 2:10

You are God's work of art, and He has created a purpose and a plan for your life. It can be hard to receive a compliment, can't it? You aren't sure how to react and you wonder, deep down, if it's really true. So, what if someone called you a work of art? That you were a masterpiece? That can be hard to hear. Really, me? What if that person was God? Because that is exactly what the Bible says in Ephesians 2:10. This verse is jam-packed with wisdom and encouragement. In just 22 words, we learn that we are God's handiwork--His work of art. We then learn that God has a purpose for our lives to do good works in His name. Finally, our One Verse teaches that God has a plan for our lives that He has been preparing for a long time! This may be hard to hear, but you are God's work of art, and He has created a purpose and a plan for your life. Your mistakes don't matter. That is why God has given us grace and Love. You are not disqualified from the purpose and plan God has created for your life. You are His masterpiece. I encourage you to start leaning into that truth. How could this fresh outlook change your life?
