Ephesians 2:10 [NLT] ‘For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.’
DAILY READING; John 20:1-18; 2 Chronicles 31; Psalm 87
It is generally believed that human beings often see themselves physically different from what others see of them.
In 2013 the Dove soap company decided to explore this phenomenon by hiring an FBI-trained forensic artist named Gil Zamora, to draw sketches of women. The artist was tasked with doing two sketches: one based on how the woman described herself, and the second based on how complete strangers described the women. The results were shocking.
The artist never actually saw the women who described themselves — they were seated behind a curtain. He only listened to their descriptions and drew a matching reflection.
Then, someone else was asked to look at the same woman and describe her to the sketch artist .
At the end, it was discovered that the sketches done based on the description of the strangers were always more beautiful than the ones described by the women themselves. It turned out that the women’s self-descriptions were uglier than those drawn from a stranger’s descriptions of them.
The project revealed that; most women do not appreciate their own beauty, nor can they accurately describe how they look.
Today, not only women, many people struggle with low self-image. But as a child of God, if you’re going to reach your highest potential, you have to understand that insight is better than eyesight. What you see with your eyes is completely different than what God sees about you.
Ephesians 2:10 says: “We are God’s masterpiece”.
That means you are not ordinary. There is a tag on you that says, “Made by the Almighty God”.
Psalm 139:14 says you have been fearfully and wonderfully made.. The word “fearful” in the original language means to stand in awe, to reverence.’
God has created you to be a sign and wonder to the world.
God designed your DNA to hold the equivalent of 1,000 volumes of coded blueprints that determine the unique features of your complexion, hair, eyes, shape etc. Nobody else has your fingerprints, the same eyes, the same voice. Indeed God has made you to be original, special and one of a kind.
But the problem is that as we go through life, we become negatively affected by people and situations that make us begin to develop wrong images of ourselves. But through looking into God’s Word, we are able to truly see who we are. People can’t see what God sees in you. God sees your potential and capabilities.
Looking at yourself from the world’s perspective, will only limit and cloud your perception of yourself. But gaining insight from God’s Word will give you a better understanding of who you really are. As you focus on the Word, you will see that indeed you are God’s masterpiece, designed to soar to amazing heights and do exploits in your generation.
PRAYER: Lord please enable me to always study Your Word so that I can see through the eyes of faith and know that I am indeed born to be great. Thank You Lord for strengthening me to fulfill Your great destiny for me in Jesus Name. .
