August 30, 2023 - Ephesians‬ ‭2:10

“We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!” Ephesians 2:10 TPT

Lord, one of the things I love about you is your creativity. You create with such beauty. It is amazing how everything is so different. Look at the sunset. It is changing constantly, a beautiful painting changing moment by moment. And it happens non-stop. As the sun moves around the planet each place that is experiencing the sunset, or the sunrise, experiences a different painting. So much creativity. It is remarkable. And that is just one example. You do that with everything you create. Each detail of every human you create is deliberately designed. Each is unique. Each is a perfect, hand-designed masterpiece.

You don’t just create us, call us done, and walk away. No, you are constantly working on us. Helping to fix and rebuild the parts that get damaged and broken. You take what a fallen world tries to destroy and constantly make it whole and beautiful again. Thank you for how you love us. Thank you for how you call us all special. You have given each of us a specific destiny. We all have such value and purpose because you highly value us. Thank you for the plans you have for each of us.

Jesus, we are so grateful for how you work in our lives. We are so grateful for how you use your amazing creativity when you make us. We are grateful for how you design us all for a mission. Help us learn how to walk out your plans for us in your ways and timing. Help us learn to love you the way you love us.

In Jesus name, amen.
