We Are God's Workmanship .... Nothing Less!!

 

 Am I growing or eroding in who I am becoming? 

A wise woman grows in understanding who she really is.
A woman who knows how God sees her is confident in her identity.
She knows God made her just the way she is and for specific tasks.

She does not compare the inside of herself with other women.
She makes the effort to grow in her knowledge of the truth of what God says about her.

A woman who understands who she is in God’s sight knows she is:

Accepted    (Ephesians 1:5)
Secure        (Philippians 1:6)
Significant   (John 15:16)

Her identity is not bound up in what she has, how she looks, or what she wears.
Her identity is secured in who she is as a beloved child of God.

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do”  (Ephesians 2:10).

Read Psalm 139 and ask God to fill your heart with the knowledge of just how treasured you are to Him.
Ask Him to help you grow in your understanding of who you really are!

Father God,
Sometimes it’s hard for me to think of myself as a piece of Your artwork – created to be just who I am. Help me to embrace the knowledge of who You say I am! I know all too well the weaknesses in me. I invite You to use these very things that I dislike in me to be the entry points of Your strength and power in my Iife. I know You have things for me to do that go beyond this “to do” list of mine. Help me to be ready to give a kind word or a hug to someone today. Show me who You want to touch through me. Help me to live as an accepted, secure and significant child of the Almighty God today by the power of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
