Bible Verse for August 15th.

 

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 Bible

 

How awesome it is to know that we are God’s masterpiece created in His very own image. Each one of us is unique and is here on earth to serve and worship Him. When we realize this, we will appreciate our self-worth and understand that we are great and valued in God’s eyes and possess the potential to do wonderful things. Oftentimes, we compare ourselves to others and feel that we don’t measure up. However, when we come to terms with the fact that we are uniquely created by God, there is nothing anyone can do to discredit or daunt us from achieving our full potential and doing all the good things He planned for us long ago.

 

We belong to God and we are loved and valued by Him! There is absolutely nothing anyone can say or do to change that. We must be confident and secure in who we are……children of the most High God. We cannot control what people will say, but we can control our response. Negative and disparaging remarks from those close to us will hurt, but as His children, we must forgive, respond with love and compassion and move on. We cannot give power to words that belittle us. Instead, we can give our bruised and hurt feelings to God who loves and cares for us. We are His masterpiece! We are important to Him and we are special and loved. 

 

Thank you Lord that I am Your masterpiece created in Your image. I know I was created by You to serve and worship You and that You have good things in store for my life. Thank you for loving me. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

 

Be Blessed!
