YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

The Sagrada Família is a world-famous basilica located in Barcelona, Spain. Other than its apparent beauty, what makes the Sagrada Família so unique is that the cornerstone of the building was laid in 1882 and it is still currently under construction. The Sagrada Família website features an extensive timeline tracing the history of key construction milestones throughout the 1900s and into the 21st century. This architectural masterpiece has remained a work in progress for over 135 years, perfectly illustrating how you are God’s masterpiece.

Every part of you was created by God on purpose, with a purpose. God’s thoughts about you are precious and innumerable. Psalm 139:13-16 (NLT) capture this truth:

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”

Not only did God create you, but just like the Sagrada Família, He is continually at work within you. One of the roles of the Holy Spirit is to make you more like Christ, and this is a lifelong process. If you surrender your life to Him, the Holy Spirit will slowly transform you into the person you were created to be all along. When you find yourself doubting your worth or focusing too much on your flaws, be reminded of this: you are being uniquely formed and fashioned by the Holy Spirit so you can become all God created you to be and do whatever He is calling you to do.

SAY THIS OUT LOUD: I AM GOD’S MASTERPIECE.
