“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)
REFLECTION
When we interact with other people, let’s keep in mind that each one of us is a beloved work of art, created by our Creator. The reality of sin mars the beauty of God’s glorious creation, but because Christ died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8), we are able to see each precious person covered by the love of God. And instead of comparing, judging or blaming each other, we can experience compassion and confidently care for those in our spheres of influence. As as we point people to Christ, we can trust the only perfect One to loving lead us into all truth and restore us according to His higher purpose.
PRAYER POEM
Loving Lord, You are our caring Creator who knows in full while we only know in part. So to You I lift my heart and ask you to restore and refresh every part, and help me heed Your Word, that the good news of the Gospel may be heard.
