"When God Created You, He Created Something Wonderful…"
Ephesians 2:10
The Passion Translation
10 We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!
God has given you a wonderful gift: free will. God is offering you the opportunity to accept yourself as He created you to be, but you have a free will and can refuse to do so if you choose.
To accept something means to view it as usual, proper, or right. People who reject themselves do so because they cannot see themselves as proper or right. They only see their flaws and weaknesses, not their beauty and strength. This is an unbalanced attitude often instilled by authority figures in the past who focused on what was weak and wrong rather than what was strong and right.
In Amos 3:3, we read, “Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed?” You can walk with God—you can be close to Him—when you decide to agree with Him. He says He loves you and accepts you; therefore, if you agree with Him, you no longer have to dislike or reject yourself.
When God created you, He created something wonderful.
