For we are his workmanship, 

created in Christ Jesus for good works, 

which God prepared beforehand, 

that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10 ESV

Have you ever considered that you are God's workmanship?

We can see that in others, but me? 

We can see God at work in others and thru them. We can see God shaping and changing people.

But me?

This verse is as true for you as it is for anyone else.

You are God's workmanship.

The word here is "poiéma" which simply means something made, a work, workmanship.

This word developed into poem. 

A poem isn't just a random collection of words but is the deliberate, careful, creative work of the poet.

It's so easy to focus on the damaged and hurt and corrupted parts of ourselves and we miss the carefully crafted creative work of God in us. 

Maybe today someone you know needs to hear about the good, the beauty, the strength, the gifts that God has crafted into them. 

There is no exclusion here: you are God's workmanship too.

Let's try this:

"I am God's workmanship.

This is part of my identity, who I am."

Let this truth extinguish the lies that pop in about worth and value. 

I am God's workmanship.

I'm going to let this truth shape my thoughts and actions today.

I am God's workmanship.

I'm going to rest in that today.
