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.
Ephesians 2:10
You are my canvas, beautiful and white
You are my creation that I bring to life
I have molded your body, heart, and mind
You are made in my image, yet still one of a kind
You are my masterpiece, I created you with care
You are my child, I’ve numbered your hair
I am the potter, and you are my clay
So let me into your life each day
I see all the battles that you must go through
I see all the pain and suffering too.
I know this isn’t what you thought it’d be like
But I promise that when the time is right
The curtain will be lifted and the fog will clear
And you will see the whole painting I made for you, dear.
I have given you a journey, one that’s unique
A mission that only you can complete.
So don’t compare yourself to others and wish that were you
For there is no other heart that can do what you can do
Stay on course and keep seeking my Face
Always be thankful, and do not lose faith
For some things will be easy; some things will be hard
But when you look closely, my blessings aren’t far
Some things will come quick, and others take time
But I promise that you are never behind
For I have placed you right where I need you to be
Why? Simply to bring others closer to me.
I love you, my child, but I love all my sheep
And some have wandered away from my keep
So I put you right where you are today
To shine with the Spirit in the darkest of days
You don’t have to be perfect, don’t feel like you do
For that’s why my Son died for you
But remember you’re my canvas, a masterful design
You are my chosen, you will always be mine.
