Settle in because this is a longer one than usual, but I
feel it’s extremely important that you really absorb every word today. As a
believer, you are a child of the King, a prized possession, an heir of God. You
are not ordinary. You didn’t come off an assembly line. You weren’t
mass-produced. You are an original design. Nobody else in this world has your
fingerprints. You are a masterpiece!
It’s so important to get this down in your spirit. When you
do and when you begin to see yourself as God created you, you will start to
understand your real purpose and your God-given destiny. You will be able to
reach your highest potential!
Right now you may not like who you are. You might wish you
were attractive in the way the world judges appearances, that you had a better
personality or that your metabolism worked a little faster. Maybe you’re
self-conscious about a physical attribute or perceived imperfection.
I want to encourage you beyond what YOU see in the mirror.
Right now, begin to change any negative opinions you have of yourself. Stop
focusing on your flaws and comparing yourself to someone else. God has made you
unique and special just the way you are. When you understand this, it brings
new opportunities, new relationships and new levels of God’s favor!
Your value doesn’t come from what you look like, or your
job, or who you know. Every morning, remind yourself that you are God’s
creation. Declare, “I am not average. I am not ordinary. I am a masterpiece!”
God created everything about you on purpose: your looks,
your skin color, your height, your personality, your talents and gifts. If you
see yourself as strong, talented and valuable, then that’s the way other people
will see you. But if you see yourself as “less than,” not talented and not
valuable, then that’s the way others will see you, too.
Choose to start loving yourself in a healthy way, being
proud of the person God made you to be. That’s what David did in Psalm 139. He
praised God for making him in an amazing way and declared that what God had
done was wonderful. Be bold enough to say, like David, “I’m amazing. I’m a
masterpiece.”
It’s up to you to get in agreement with God and realize how
much He loves you and how special He made you. Join me in believing for God’s
favor in your life. Join me in praying that doors of opportunity will swing
open and that you will see your dreams and desires come to pass. I declare over
you new seasons of opportunity, growth and victory!
