“For you are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that you should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
The word ‘workmanship’ in this scripture comes from the Greek word poiéma. It is where we get our word poem. A poem is defined as something that arouses strong emotions because of its beauty.You are God’s poem!
His Word tells you that He knew you before the world was ever created. When He imagined you, your beauty roused Him to create you! He thinks you are beautiful and His love for you created you! You are unique and special to Him, and when your work on earth is done, He wants you to come live with Him for eternity in Heaven.
We were created for Jesus, but when the devil entered into this world sin stole us away. But God came in to rescue us through Jesus. Now, when you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved from sin’s grip. God said that the payment for sin is death, but the Gift that God freely gives is everlasting life found in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus loved you so much, He made that payment for sin with His Life. It was the only way. And, before He was crucified He prayed this prayer for those of you who will believe in Him.
“Father, I pray that all who believe in Me can be one. You are in Me and I am in You. I pray that they can also be one in Us. Then the world will believe that You sent Me. I have given them the Glory that You gave Me. I gave them this Glory so that they can be one, just as You and I are one. I will be in them, and You will be in Me. So they will be completely one. Then the world will know that You sent Me and that You loved them just as you loved Me. Father, I want these people You have given Me to be with Me in every place I am. I want them to see My Glory—the Glory you gave Me because you loved Me before the world was made.” John 17
This Valentines Day, come and experience God’s love and trust in the One He sent. If you have not received Jesus into your life, know that God is asking you to come into His Heart as you watch this video:
“You are God’s girl and He loves you! You sprinkle His seeds of love wherever you go!” Those words were spoken to me by my husband Joe many years ago. They came at a time when I was questioning my self-worth in God’s Kingdom, purposes, and plans. The Father made sure that in my darkest spiritual hour, I heard His Truth about my identity and self-worth. It has been my passion ever since to deliver that same message to any who may need to hear it. It is not about who we are, but Whose we are, and I am God’s girl!
