You are God’s Greatest Achievement – His Masterpiece

For we are God’s masterpiece…(Ephesians 2:10)

According the dictionary – masterpiece can mean one’s greatest achievement. So we could write this – we are God’s greatest achievement.

I don’t know how you think or even feel about yourself. I also don’t know what you think or feel about God. What I do know is that there is something about you that that He has made extraordinary.

Imagine for a minute that you really are God’s greatest achievement

What would that mean? Does it mean that life should be great everyday, problem free? Should you be able to be in-charge, the boss?

Perhaps it means that you should treat yourself with respect, and enjoy who God made you. That unique you. The amazing you. That part of you that loves life and the challenges it brings. That flavour and expression of the divine that comes only from you.

Masterpieces are…

Masterpieces are admired by most, even despised and misunderstood by some – but they have a brilliance that should be shown. And the same with you. You have something extraordinary to show to the world… So let your light shine.

Masterpieces are not copies. They are originals. If you try and be like someone else – the best you’ll be is number 2. Let the real you live. Be vulnerable with the world and show us who you really are because you are astounding.

Oh, and remember – that person sat next you on the train talking loudly on the phone, the homeless on the street and the new prime minister are all a masterpiece too. Maybe they just need for you to help them uncover it, rather than judge their veneer.

You are God’s greatest achievement. His very best – out of all creation you rank the highest, by far, in what He has done. He is proud of you. So show us all what you look like.
