Ah, life! God has given it to us in His image! As a result, His glory should shine on our faces in gratitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Our existence in many colors, sizes and personalities make us masterfully arranged art pieces of great value. God knows well how He’s formed us and what He’s fashioned us to perform, and in knowing what He’s created, we should embrace His brilliance.
The bible says in Genesis 1:27, ” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.” Yet why were we created? “…bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth— everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” (Isaiah 43:6-7) For His glory! Further, Ephesians 2:10 declares “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Isn’t that something to be thrilled about–the fact that we are God’s artistry or design? The reality that we have a purpose and godly destiny chosen uniquely for us, gives us confidence in the face of any insecurities or frustrations we may possess. Moreover, however we may lack in appearance or substance, we should never forget the truth of God’s word concerning us.
Have you ever allowed the enemy to make you feel anything other than grateful for how God has fashioned you? The fact that you are even alive is a blessing alone. In addition, all that God sees in us is maybe beyond our imagination or comprehension. Perhaps we should just confidently and joyfully embrace the fact that we are a marvelous work of our Great Creator.
