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. ~ Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
We are the in-process work of God.PRAYER:
Creative Father, you are the one who has shaped us into what we are; and you are still busy forming us into an elaborate mosaic of diverse Jesus-loving people. I resist this a bit because in my nearsightedness, I'm at times inclined to want to shape everything myself. I have incredible ideas of what the church should be. But whoever heard of a pot that shaped itself or a masterpiece of a painting that painted itself. Grant me the wisdom to accept my limitations and to give you, the artist, free reign. It will be beautiful! Amen.
