God's Masterpiece

November 14, 2019

Good morning ladies and the sun is shinning.

This is part of the devotions that I read last night.

We are God’s masterpiece.  He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10

You are a masterpiece, not like the Mona Lisa, which hangs in a museum behind bulletproof glass, beyond the potentially damaging touch of dirty hands.  You are like a Stradivarius violin, whose true beauty and value is seen and experienced in its usefulness__especially when it is used by a master.  Being used by the master in this hurting world is thrilling.  The reason it feels so good to offer food to those who are hungry, a coat to those who are cold, companionship to those who are lonely, a home to a child who is alone, a quilt to warm many hearts (added by Joyce), is because this is what you were made for.  This is the beauty of the Master Jesus using your life.

I thought this really tied in with our mission.  There are so many needs and hurting people and as we draw close to another Christmas may we keep an eye out for those we can warm with our hearts and quilts.
