Five Minute Friday:: Design

 We are all designed differently, and we are all a masterpiece. I know it doesn’t always feel that way, but that’s the truth. 

We are God’s workmanship/masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph. 2:10) We are created in God’s image. We are all a beautiful work in progress.

 Another word for masterpiece is poem. Have you ever thought of yourself  as a poem? 

We are designed for community. We are designed for relationship. We are designed to be emotional. We are designed to be free and uninhibited. We are designed to be safe. We are designed to need each other. We are designed to love, to cry, to laugh, to share, to forgive, to create.  

God’s design for the world has never changed. We are promised that one day there will be a new heaven and a new earth—the kingdom of God is here and is coming. How wonderful is that?!

Have you ever pondered the way you were designed? Have you ever wished your design was different? Have you ever been complimented for a personality trait you may have, perhaps one you have berated yourself for? It’s a lovely feeling when someone sees the uniqueness of you and encourages you, isn’t it?

And God saw all that he had made and it was good. And when he had created humans, it was VERY good. Your design is VERY good.
