Then
the writer starts to softly sing the song in his head … it plays
over and over in his mind as he chooses the melody, the rhythm as
well as the instruments that will bring the song to life.
The
end-result is the song that is playing over the radio and being
admired by others.
Ephesians 2:10
"For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them." NKJV
We
are God's creation, the Greek word used here for workmanship (poiema)
means the following: "The word signifies that which is
manufactured, a product, a design produced by an artisan. Poiema
emphasizes God as the master Designer, the universe as his creation
(Rom 1:20), and the redeemed believer as His new creation (Eph 2:10).
Before conversion our lives had no rhyme or reason. Conversion
brought us balance, symmetry, and order. We are God's poem, His work
of art. " (quoted from the Strongs Hebrew \ Greek Dictionary)
After
God carefully planned all your features, your hair, the colour of
your eyes, as well as your unique personality - He lovingly formed
you and completed His design. You are beautiful to God.
Even
though you might not feel like it, you are a labour of love.
God
spent time thinking out every detail of your life - what your purpose
would be, what you would do, how He would empower you to accomplish
the impossible.
Just
think about this for a moment, you are God's work of art! You are not
a slap dash half-baked idea but a work of art. God himself took time
to design you.
Zephaniah 3:17
"The LORD your
God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over
you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice
over you with singing." NKJV
God
even sings songs about you! He rejoices over you. This means that God
sees you as important, He sent His Son to save you and you have been
recreated in Christ and given a new nature.
You
may be wondering, "If God loves me so much, why can't I feel His
love?" you need to open yourself up to God and invite Him to
come and love you. He wants to love you, He wants to show you that He
cares for you.
But
sometimes we don't realize that it is God's love when something
happens to us. You get a break and then you say, "Wow but I was
lucky!". When it was God who blessed you. We need to thank Him
when He is good to us. Ask Him to help you to experience His love.
Start looking for His blessings and you will find them! (Matthew
7:7).
We
need to realize that we have a loving Father who wants to take care
of us. We can trust Him not to let us down.
Joshua 1:5b
"I will be with
you. I will not leave you nor forsake you." NKJV
Accept
God as your Father, He has always loved you and He always will. Stop
trying to do it all alone and learn to bask in the warmth of His
love.
