God's work of art

Throughout life, it is inevitable that someone(s) will try to beat you down. Whether it's at work or in the pathway of life itself, we all come across people who either intentionally or unintentionally make it their life mission to show how inferior we are or how stupid we can be.

It's during those times that I love 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." (King James Version)

The word "workmanship," comes from the Greek word "Poiema" which means "to make poetry".

The words signifies that which is manufactured, a product, a design produced by an artist.

Who is the master artist but God? And who has created you and I but God?

Before we connect to Christ in relationship, our lives have not rhyme or reason. A relationship with Jesus brings us balance, symmetry, and order. We are God's poem, His work of art!

So, when you come across that "person" who tries to beat you down today, go home knowing that God created you, you are a work of art, and that in Christ, you are somebody!

And who's opinion is more important - God's or that person?
