Shine!

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 1:10

 I come back to this verse as the whole scripture is full of richness but this is sticking out to me. There is a task I am destined for, there are things that the Lord has uniquely allotted to me.

When I was a child my mother would take me to the dressmaker and have a dress made, tailored just for me. I remember one such dress, a formal dress for a special occasion. The material was a shiny blue, I loved it, it made me feel like a princess.

That dress would fit me better than anyone else because it was made to measure. It suited my blue eyes, it made me shine.

The dress was lovingly crafted just for me. Getting the picture? My God loves me so much more and He has crafted works that He knows I am the perfect fit for, I shine in them, they suit me down to a tee.

Each one of us is so loved by our God, He has chosen works that are such a blessing in our hand. This isn't a 'you do it or else'. This is the lover of our soul making something just for us so we will shine His glory.

Rise up and shine for your God is for you. Amen!
