God's workmanship..

I'm gonna try to make this a quick one..the notion to write always seems to hit me when I'm exhausted and it's time for bed. I wonder why that is, hmmmm??

When I woke up this morning I felt the cool air, I saw the sun...tonight I noticed the smoke from grill blowing with the wind and when the electricity went for some strange reason, I saw the moon making its way out....each of these things and so many more are part of God's awesome creation. Everday we see the sun, the moon, the sky, trees, flowers..all those wonderful things God created and yes many times we take it for granted....you think you know where this going? Do you think that I'm gonna fill up a post about the beauty of God's creation in the earth? Well, we could spend days writing and talking about all God created and how good it is, but thats not so much what this post is about. We see all those things outside of us, but we hardly ever see "us".

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and saw "God's creation"?

"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

WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP...do we realize what that means? The person we see everyday was created, was made, was developed by the awesome and mighty hand of God. So why don't we see that? Why do we only see the trash in our lives that we aren't satisfied with? Why is that we don't see Jesus? That is who we are supposed to be seeing right? I mean our earthly objective is to be like Christ...so why is that the last person we see when we look in the mirror?

So take a look in the mirror....go...do it now...not in the morning, not when you get done reading..but do it now because chances are if your like me, you won't do it later. What did you see? Did you see Christ? We were made, predestined to do the work of God...be like Him in the greatest possible way and we hold ourselves back so much...does God make junk? I don't think so. Go look again...look for Jesus in you...look at all those hangups in your life and do what it takes to rid that baggage because that baggage is not from God.

God doesn't make junk, we make it. So maybe if we can with His help get rid of it, then not only will we see Jesus, but hopefully someone else will too....
