Have you ever seen a painting worth millions of dollars and thought, “Why does it cost so much?”
What makes a simple painting so special?
Sure, a painting’s worth might come from its design, but it is who made the painting that determines its worth.
YOU ARE GOD’S MASTERPIECE!
YOU ARE HIS BEST WORK!
YOU ARE WHAT HE DISPLAYS FOR ALL TO SEE.
YOU HAVE INHERENT WORTH!
When people look at you, they see God’s grace, wonder, and goodness.
“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.” Eph. 2:10
When you make a mistake, does it keep you up at night? Do you think about it for days? Do you feel the weight of anxiety?
God is merciful. He sees your mistake and offers redemption.
God is loving. He sees your anxiety and offers peace.
God loves you and believes in you. He will never stop loving you because of a mistake.
He takes your mistakes and turns them into something good!
His love is unconditional!
SO, GET UP AND TRY AGAIN! GOD BELIEVES IN YOU!
“Love bears up under anything, and everything that comes is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].” – 1 Corinthians 13:7
Children graduate high school and go off to college.
Everything at once seems to change, and sometimes you might feel alone, or that change might string.
But God says, He is ALWAYS with you and will NOT leave nor FORSAKE you.
God is with you and walking right beside you through it all. So, don’t fear or be dismayed by the unknown or change. Instead, rest in knowing that you ARE NOT ALONE!
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deut. 31:8
