For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. – Ephesians 2:10
God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus. To do good works. Wow.
The New Living Translation puts it this way:
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.
You are already a masterpiece.
Do you hear what I’m saying? Do you hear what God is saying?
A masterpiece. Already. Just as you are.
Won’t you come on over to Rest Ministries with me, to finish this devo?
I hope you’ll take the time, while you’re there, to look around and see all that they offer on their great site.
It’s amazing.
See you there!
