Glorious

I love the David Crowder Band. Seem's like their music has been the soundtrack for my life this past year. Right now I'm listening to "Everything Glorious"

You make everything glorious
you make everything glorious
you make everything glorious
and I am yours, what does that make me?

In my past, I so needed to get that in my head, and thanks be to God, it's getting there. If I don't think I'm worth anything, then I'm not going to feel like I can do anything for God and I'm not going to take care of myself like God's glorious masterpiece.

That's what Paul calls us in Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago."

That's a promise - I'm a masterpiece. Man, just typing it and tears jumped in my eyes. Little old me . . . broken me, divorced me, single mom me, feeling inadequate at work me, struggling with bills me, haven't washed my hair today yet me . . (oops that didn't need to go in). . . I am God's masterpiece.

You know, I think if I can make sure that my daughter gets that concept into her head and heart - that she is God's masterpiece - I will have done well as a mom. If I can help my friends to know that - I've done well as a friend.

Knowing that God thinks I'm a masterpiece sure does make me feel loved.
