I enjoy art. There's nothing
like casually strolling through a art museum and viewing all of the beautiful
pieces that a gifted artist meticulously crafted. Artists are indeed visionaries
that typically see what others don't see. Andy Warhol, an American artist who
was a leading figure in the pop art movement, said the following, "Everything
has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
How many women go through life
each day, not seeing the beauty they possess as God's creation? Not seeing that
they are a masterpiece crafted by the Master Craftsman Himself?
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)
Let's look at the definition
of "Masterpiece". Masterpiece: (1)A person's greatest piece of work. (2)
Anything done with masterly skill.
That is who you are. God's
masterpiece. His handiwork. You are God's greatest creation.
Contrary to what your past or
circumstances may say, you are not a failure. You are not the mistakes you might
have made.
You, precious one, are
fearfully and wonderfully made. Loved by your Father with an unfailing,
unconditional love. A love that nothing can separate you from.
(38)And I am convinced that
nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about
tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. (39)No
power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation
will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ
Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38, 39 NLT)
As women, we must pray and ask
the Father to open our eyes so that we can see ourselves as He sees us. When He
looks at you, He sees the beautiful masterpiece He fashioned and created. He
doesn't focus on the "stuff" we sometimes beat ourselves up about. He is a God
that always sees you as a finished masterpiece. He is a God that sees the end
from the beginning.
(Isaiah 46:9, 10
NKJV)
(9)Remember the former
things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none
like Me, (10)Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things
that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My
pleasure,’
God has already declared your
end. He knows the plans He alone has for you. And, when it comes to His plans
for your life, His purposes shall prevail over any negative word, situation or
circumstance. You have to believe that God has ordained good for your life, in
spite of what may be happening at this very moment.
Ask God for grace to see
yourself the way He sees you. As beautiful and greatly loved.
He looks at you with eyes of
love and passion. You are His and He is yours. Today, release all negative
emotions and thoughts that lie and tell you anything contrary to what God says
about your life. He loves you with an everlasting love. You are His daughter.
His masterpiece. His beloved.
Prayer: Father, thank you
for so graciously opening my eyes that I might see myself as you see me. May I
see the beauty that I possess. I chose to believe that your plans for me are
great and good. And, that your plans for my life will come to pass. Thank you
for making me beautiful to behold.
