A Real Piece of Work

The Good News Today Is..."For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Eph 2:10. Literally this means that we are "works of art" - God is the artist. Have you ever really watched an artist create? I have, many times, since I am married to one. He can be drawing this round little blob, intently, and I can't imagine what he's working on. As his purpose unfolds I see a beautiful tree with a sensational burl in the middle of it. Ahhh...the blob was going to become a tree...I can see that now that he's almost done. Artists - they work from the inside out to create. God is constantly working on the inside of us and it is constantly changing who we are on the outside. I wish I could envision what the end results will be...I'm sure it will be better than I could ever imagine because I have the best artist on the job!
