Ephesians 2:10
Ephesians 2:10
Reading this verse, I was struck by the first phrase, "we are God's handiwork"...oh, we hear it, every once in a while...but does our soul hear it, deep down.....handiwork, workmanship, treasured possession, his very own, cared for, fearfully and wonderfully made.....
I just had to let that sink in, settle in my being...we are cherished beyond measure because He is beyond measure, loved, held, enfolded, covered, .....in all those hidden places that no else sees......He knows every cell, every thought , every hair...
It is beyond comprehension....but of so comforting.....He loves me.....no amount of crafting that I do has that amount of completion....thought....our intimate friends and family cannot fathom nor take that place of care, that deepness....only Him....our Creator.....
Thank you......

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
