As one who creates menus for events and requests, I understand the concept of creating and workmanship!
The detail and preparation that might go into a cake to make it unique, specific, stand alone for the first time , or a dinner party setting thst wows the guests, or simple brownies that travel across continents because to someone the workmanship is worth sharing with others..
.
I get that concept of workmanship!

To read this verse this morning, and I have known this since Genesis, but today I am in tears at the realisation that I am Gods work of Art. I am His creation, with all my bites, warts and all, that I dont like about me, God loves about me!
.
BUT GOD..
He didn’t just make me unique, He gave me purpose through Christ Jesus, who prepares me for the good works that fulfill my purpose..!
I am not just me, I am the workmanship of the Most High God, wherever I’ve been, whatever I’ve done, however I’ve lived, through Christ, there is a purpose for me.
.
This is huge, but by Gods grace i can be the closest version of who He created me to be..Right?
.
Amen.

Happy Saturday ya’ll! Live well, be well, celebrate this day well!
love you..

I absolutely love how you describe the intentionality, the very thoughtful meticulousness that is put into creating your culinary masterpieces and tying that same level of intentionality of how God created and creates us in Jesus. Just thinking about the feelings of satisfaction, joy, and daresay delight one would feel after putting the finishing touches on a perfect soufflé, place setting, or painting and connecting that with how God thinks about you and me is a wondrous thing! God indeed delights in us, even as imperfect as we are, and yet He keeps creating us in the same meticulous way with a loving hand. How awesome is our God!
created in christ, so profound
