God Created You and gave you the Gift to Create

” For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. “ Ephesians 2:10 NKJV

You are God’s workmanship, created by God.

Imagine the skill and power (workmanship) it took for the Creator to create you down to the smallest detail. Consider your most memorable creative experience and outcome. With great intentionality, love and consideration you created an elevated experience. Striving for excellence, you consider the immediate results and long-term commitment to maintenance, help, care, comfort, accessibility and availability. How much more did God plan for you, His workmanship! He sent Jesus to bridge the gap between us and Him that we may live eternally with Him. He made us but His image bearers with multifaceted talents and gifts. He is always available, always accessible, planned for your care and comfort and is a present help. He even tells us the maintenance plan, reading His word, spending time in prayer and worship with Him. You are God’s workmanship. Own it.

God not only created you, but He also prepared good works for you to do. Yes, creative genius, your creativity comes from God! Both you and the good works can only fully realized in Christ Jesus.
