Scripture Reference
“For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].” – Ephesians 2:10 (AMP)
Praise God, who has prearranged and preordained your life for good works!
The knowledge that God has a detailed and beautiful plan for your life—even without your involvement in shaping it—should fill you with awe. No wonder He declares: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11).
You are not an accident. Every path you will walk has been marked by God. He saved you so that you might live the life He designed for you before the foundation of the world. His love for you is immeasurable and cannot be fully captured in words. Before you were ever formed in your mother’s womb, He knew you and had ordained a great purpose for your life (Jeremiah 1:5).
God has designed you to showcase His glory, to shine in this world so others may glorify Him (Matthew 5:16). Your identity is secure in Him. You are not an accident, nor are you inferior. You are God’s masterpiece—His unique and prestigious creation. Your worth is priceless, your design intentional, and your purpose profound.
There is only one you. You are His peculiar treasure, His chosen person, a vessel of mercy, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). Even when people do not see your value, God does. You are known, loved, and cherished by Him.
Reflection
Reflect on this: Who are you, that the God of all creation is so mindful of you? Why does He care so much? Why did He choose to save you even when you didn’t acknowledge Him? What could you possibly have done to deserve His endless mercy?
The answer is simple: Nothing. He loves you simply because He chooses to. His love is a gift of grace, not something you could ever earn, yet it defines your worth as His masterpiece.
Prayer
Thank You, Jesus, for shaping my life and loving me unconditionally. Thank You for walking with me through both the good and the bad times. Thank You for being my strength in moments of weakness and for Your grace that sustains me daily.
Praise be to Your holy name. Amen.
