“You are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good things. God planned for these good things (long ago for you personally) to be the way that you live your life.” Ephesians 2:10
Who Are You?
You are chosen by God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ to be His Daughter ~ Ephesians 1:4,5
You are completely and fully accepted into my family, The Family of God, never more an orphan to be ~ Ephesians 2:19
When my “Hubby” and I first married…
…we were determined to learn everything we could about our new family dynamic. We are a step-family. That was almost 23 years ago. One of the first things we learned was that the word “step” in step-famiy was taken from an Old English word, “steop”. It means bereaved or orphaned (lacking a parent).
Little did I know that I would learn many things about that little word, “steop”. I know what it is to choose and accept children into my family, in several different ways. I have step-kids, I have a step-grandson, I have a beautiful child in east Asia that is anything but out of sight and out of mind (we love and support her in many ways including having spent time with her), and I have an adopted grand-daughter and grand-son from Africa.
But the most wonderful thing I have learned about the word “steop” is this. I was once orphaned, but now I am found ~ I am a chosen daughter of God, the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, never more an orphan to be.
Who Are We?
First and foremost are these: We are God’s masterpieces created to do good things! God planned, for each of us, specific good things He wants us to do. And, we are Daughter’s of the King, never more orphans to be and to have relationship with Him! When we understand this we understand how important it is that we place the highest of value on the God who created us, which in turn helps us to understand Who We Are ~ In Christ Jesus!
The Simplicity of it?
Selfish, self-esteem issues (which are lies) cannot survive against Who We Are In Christ Jesus! It is a Matter of The Heart! So, Just Be You! You are the very person He created YOU to be ~ Masterpiece and Daughter! Believe It!
The Fruits of Simplicity?
