We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
The word "workmanship" in this verse can be translated "poetry."
Have you ever thought of yourself as one of God's special works of poetry? You are His special creation. You, Sarah, are an unrepeatable miracle.
When I'm feeling low, I need to be reminded that I'm special in God's eyes. When I'm playing the comparison game and comparing my talent or physical appearance with those better than I am, I need to be reminded that God created me unique. When I'm playing the "I wish" game, wishing that things were different, I need to be reminded that I am the only special poem of God made just like me....
Don't be so hard on yourself that you miss the joy of being God's only creation made from your unique mold. People who view themselves as God's special creation are the ones who live happy and successful lives. You are His poetry, so live your life as His child!
Repeat after me: I am God's poem. He has engraved me in the palm of his hand. He will never forget me. I am his beloved treasure.
