Ephesians 2:10: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
God is an artisan. We are His masterpieces. God has designed us to be beautifully useful for doing His works, not ours! So many of us allow others, especially the evil one, to convince us that we are not worth anything to anyone else or to God.
His grace has made our lives a canvas upon which He will provide the world more master works of His artistry! We must allow Him to mold us into a strong and Spiritual tool. We are expected to live up to the purpose of our creation and yet we destroy the beauty of it with much of our own creative destructiveness.
Isaiah 64:8: (KJV) "But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."
Like a clay pot, if we fall too hard we will break and God is the only one who can make us whole again for we are just an empty vessel without Him ... Even Paul became a new creature in Christ! *2 Corinthians 5:17*
Acts 9:15: (KJV) But the Lord said unto him, (Ananias) Go thy way: for he (Paul) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel
I will even go so far as to say that if "I" can be molded into the full absolute truth of God's Holiness and His word ... anyone can!
