“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 New Living Translation

Some chefs love to prepare recipes that are worthy of a photo shoot. They spend a lot of time ensuring that their creation not only tastes amazing but looks appealing to the eyes. The complex flavors combined with its artful style made this dessert memorable.

While enjoying a great dessert is delightful, we are beyond blessed that God has made us His masterpiece. He created us in His own image. No matter what your background or situation was at the time of your birth, you are God’s precious handiwork, His masterpiece. Even your present circumstances can’t change this. Through Jesus, you are redeemed and forgiven and created anew by His blood.

Never think that you are too imperfect that you can’t be used by God. You are made on purpose and for the ultimate purpose: to do what God has prepared for you in His kingdom. Before you were born, He designed a plan specifically for you and your life in Him. So have no doubt that He loves you and your place is to walk with Him every day of your life. God will never abandon His artwork. You are His masterpiece.
