In all things, I know you’re workin’

AMAZING!! Let these definitions sink in. Our stories are God’s workmanship!! We are His masterpiece! His fingerprints of mercy are on every page of our story, because He’s the one crafting us together.
It’s TRUE – We Are Definitely God’s Masterpiece!!
God uses our pain, our messes, our victories – all of it – for His supreme purpose! That’s exciting to me! Our stories are not perfect, but they are purposeful. With each page turn, and as we draw closer to our Creator, we continue to be God’s greatest achievement. God uses extraordinary skills to continue molding and shaping us into our wonderfully complex self – FOR HIS GLORY!
“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”

We are all the work of God’s hand!!! I’m so thankful He’s still working on me. Friends, let’s shout out to Him saying, “Take all my heart, Lord here I am!” Remember we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and His works are beautiful in His own time. So why not give Him some praise!
“Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – how well I know it.”
Psalm 139:14 (NLT)
Let’s fill our hearts with this song believing…
We are God’s masterpiece! Our story is much bigger than we will ever realize. All those hot mess, painful moments are part of the marvelous workmanship created by His hands! Our stories teach us, grow us, and mold us into His beautiful masterpiece. And, like Matthew sings about, our stories are living proof that there’s not a chapter God can’t use!!
