You are a piece of work...

I had this thought while preparing for my "Sunday in the Park" Bible study talk last Sunday:
You are a piece of work...
...but you are still on God's workbench because He's not finished with you yet.

You are a work of art...
...but you are still on God's easel because there are quite a few more brush strokes left to be added by the Great Artist.

You are an epic poem...
...It may seem like your life has no rhyme or reason at times, but the last stanzas are yet to be written by the Great Story-teller.
- Craig Henry

These thoughts are based on Ephesians 2:10.

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.   (NIV)
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.   (NLT)
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.  (NASB)
