“ For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC)
There are many struggling in the area of knowing your true worth and value right now. You have been fighting to prove yourself to the point of exhaustion. This was never God’s plan for you.
It’s now time to lay aside the superficial things and realize that YOU MATTER. No longer look to people and things to prove your worth. The number of houses you own, the degrees you hold, the money you have in your bank account, nor the people you are connected to will prove you have arrived.
God assigned value to you the day He created you. You are His masterpiece. You have been formed in His image and likeness. The society we live in today should not dictate who you are. You are a child of the Most High God. Remember that!
Father forgive us for losing sight of who You have created us to be. Help us to recognize our worth and value lies in You and You alone. You have fashioned and shaped us fearfully and wonderfully and mighty are the works of Your hands.
Listen to God’s Word in Ephesians 2:10. “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus...”
Accept and receive this truth deeply in your being. Your Father had His eye on you long before you loved Him. He intended you and wanted you. He planned you; you were not an accident. You are a product of His love. You were not mass produced. We live in a disposable age, but you are not throw-away. You are one of His best ideas, the result of His fine craftsmanship. His wisdom creatively designed you for Himself. You are “a keeper,” a treasure, valuable and valued. You are carrying a huge reservoir of treasure of generational blessings, because He is generous. He is a just and extravagant God. He celebrates everything that He planned and deposited in the gold mine that is you, everything that He intended for you and pledged to you, and He cannot lie. In Him you know who you are and what you are living for. Be blessed to live in the freedom of maximum fulfillment as you accept and approve and receive your design, how God made you to be.
Listen to the Word of God for you in Matthew 15:13. Jesus said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.” Be blessed to receive the restoration of God’s original intent for you. Receive the hand of your Father removing everything that He didn’t install in you, everything you got from ungodly generations, in the womb, and since then from unholy sources. Be blessed with seeing the hand of your Father plucking up by the roots what He did not plant in you. Receive God’s restoration of what needs to be restored to its rightful formation and place. He put some special things in you when He created you, and you may have tried to remove them, hide them, or change them. Others may have tried to squelch you or change you all your life. Be released from the soulish plans, prayers, and manipulations of others to make you other than who God intended you
to be.
Hear God’s Word for you in Romans 12:2 NLT. “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think, and you will know how pleased God is with his will for you and what God wants you to do.” He has designs on you for glorious living in His purposes, to set you in the fullness of Christ in everything in every way. He is actively working out His purposes that are beyond your comprehension. Paul said that no man has heard, seen, or even imagined what wonderful things God has for those who love Him. The power of the Holy Spirit in you is renewing your mind and soul, to give you a new attitude of heart. Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, is helping you to trust God completely and believe that He knows what is best for your life.
Let God confirm to you those facets of yourself that He designed to be revealed.
Jesus lives in you to shine out of you. Be blessed to grow in all the character, skills, potential, and magnificence that is in your true spiritual DNA. Be blessed to be you.
Be blessed in the name of the Spirit of God who made you, the breath of the Almighty who gives you life (Job 33:4).
