You
Are a Masterpiece
TODAY’S
SCRIPTURE
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.
TODAY’S
WORD
You are God’s own
masterpiece! That means you are not ordinary or average; you are a
one-of-a-kind original. When God created you, He went to great lengths to make
you exactly the way He wanted you to be. He gave you the right personality, the
right gifts, the right talents, and the right connections to do exactly what
He’s called you to do. The question is: do you recognize the treasure you
possess?
Today, don’t settle for
living a mediocre existence. Unlock the hidden treasures inside of you. Every
morning when you get out of bed, remind yourself, I am a masterpiece. I am
handpicked by God, and I am a person of extreme value and significance.
Remember, you are an original—you’re not meant to be like everyone else; God
designed you the way you are for a specific purpose. Everything about you is
unique, and every detail about you matters. Receive His love today because you
are His most prized treasure!
PRAYER
FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for
loving me. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank You
for choosing me and using me to bring You glory in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

"A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church." (1 Corinthians 12:7 NLT)
God has a unique role for you to play in his family.
This is your ministry, and God has gifted you for this assignment: “A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church” (1 Corinthians 12:7 NLT).
Your local fellowship is the place God designed for you to discover, develop, and use your gifts. You may also have a wider ministry, but that is in addition to your service in a local body. Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.
You will share in Christ’s mission in the world. When Jesus walked the earth, God worked through the physical body of Christ; today he uses his spiritual body. The church is God’s instrument on Earth.
We are not just to model God’s love by loving each other; we are to carry it together to the rest of the world. This is an incredible privilege we have been given together.
As members of Christ’s body, we are his hands, his feet, his eyes, and his heart. He works through us in the world. We each have a contribution to make.
Paul tells us, “He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing” (Ephesians 2:10 MSG).
Talk About It
- Are you aware of your spiritual gifts? How are you using them to serve the church?
- How are you modeling God's love through your words and actions among believers? Among non-believers?
