You Are God's Masterpiece

Hey Girlfriend!

When we truly comprehend how deeply and wildly we are loved by God, our perspective on life shifts dramatically. You are not a mistake. You are not here by accident or as an afterthought. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Sis!, you are God’s masterpiece, created with purpose, intention, and equipped with unique gifts meant to shine brightly in this world. The realization of this love invites us into a life filled with power, purpose, and a pursuit of the potential that He has placed within each of us.

Yet, so many of us walk through life unaware of our potential, unsure of our purpose, and unconfident in our power. We look at the key to unlocking our God-given potential and find it too distant, too difficult, or too daunting to grasp. The truth is, this key is already in our hands, given to us through the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This love is the match that lights the flame within us, and understanding this truth is what frees us to rise and shine.

The challenges and setbacks you've faced were not designed to dim your light but to make it shine brighter. The love of God, once fully embraced, illuminates our darkest corners, igniting the potential within us and encouraging us to live out the good works He has prepared in advance for us.

In His Love,

Pastor Sheila

Let's Prayer!

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wild, unconditional love. Help me to truly understand the depth of Your love for me and the greatness of the plan You have for my life. Grant me the courage to step into my potential, to embrace the good works You have set before me, and to live fully in the power and purpose You've designed for me. May Your love ignite the flame within me, allowing me to rise and shine, reflecting Your light in all that I do. Amen.
