Even everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, whom I have made”. Isaiah 43:7 (AMP)

Have you ever seen a masterwork of one kind or another, in museums, architecture—or perhaps a landscape or vista so exquisite, it simply took your breath away? You wonder—who came up with that idea? Or who created something so incredible?

Well, magnificent child of God—that is how the angels feel about you! They look at you with awe and wonder, see the masterpiece within, and understand that you were created in love, by the One Who is love, to love and be loved!

Don’t take your cues from the world, who so often gets it wrong. Inhale instead the truth that flows from heaven alone. You were formed by the hand of God; created in beauty for His glory. No lie of darkness can ever change that truth, so walk away. Walk away from everything that says you are unworthy, marred, damaged, don’t measure up, are not good enough. Who would even think that about you—are you kidding?

You, beautiful one, are a true treasure. A marvel of beauty and grace! Made by the Master of Creation, and believe me, He never makes mistakes! He never misses out or ever messes up! Quite the contrary in fact, for He does all things well!

And that includes, wonderfully, fearfully, gloriously made for His glory, and called by His Name, you!

Prayer:

Father God, Creator of the earth, and all things in it, thank You for creating me! Forgive me for the ways I have not seen myself as you see me. For the ways I have let others define who I am instead of living in the truth of Who’s I am! I was made in Your image; created for Your glory; called by Your Name.

Today I choose to cast off everything I have believed about myself that does not line up with who You say I am. I close the doors to what others have said about me that did not come from Your heart of love.

You are with me now, Jesus, always near. In the light of Your perfect love; in the truth of Who I am; there is no fear!

I am my Beloved's and He is mine. Your banner over me, my glorious Lord, is love!
