I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, God created the amazingly unique you.
You are His workmanship, created by God and for God. How easy it is, though, to be discouraged in the middle of the messiness – to feel unsaved, unworthy, and outside of His blessings. Remember that you are a work in progress!
Think about an intricate mosaic floor. From a distance, you appreciate the beauty of its overall plan. However, the closer you move towards it, the less you can comprehend the entire design. In fact, up close, you only focus on one broken shard of pottery. When all you see is brokenness, it is not impressive. It all comes down to perspective.
God is working on you. He takes this broken piece, that shattered moment, this unplanned event, that mountain, this battle. He pulls it all together one piece at a time, over days and decades. Step back and see where you once were and where you are now, and know that God truly has worked all things together for your good.
Take heart! He has been refining you all these years. He will not quit until you are perfect in every way because He always completes every good work that He begins (Philippians 1:6).
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May you recognize yourself as God’s masterpiece – priceless and dearly loved. Submit to His work in you and live for His glory!
