  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackie.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It is time right now for today's word. Still God's masterpiece.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Still God's masterpiece. Ephesians 2.10 says, for we are God's masterpiece.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: He's created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: do the good things he planned for us long ago.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Have you ever looked at a beautiful painting or a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: magnificent sculpture and thought about the hands that created it?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: A masterpiece never makes itself. Behind every great work of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: art is an artist who sees the beauty and potential
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: long before anyone else can recognize it. Without Leonardo da Vinci,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the Mona Lisa would never have become a masterpiece that
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the world admires. Without Michelangelo, the statue of David would
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have remained a block of marble. See, the difference was
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the creator. And here's the good news. You're being shaped
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: by the hand of the master. Ephesians 2 and 10
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: reminds us that we are God's masterpiece created with purpose
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and designed to do good things that he has planned
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for us. That means your life is not an accident.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Your gifts have purpose. Your experiences can be used for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: good and even better. The areas where you're still growing
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: don't cancel the beauty God placed on the inside of you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: So stop comparing your journey to somebody else's finished product. Yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you may be looking at someone who appears polished, confident,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and successful, wondering why you haven't reached that point yet.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But you don't know what God is working on behind
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the scenes in their life or what he's developing in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: your life. Maybe, maybe he's strengthening your faith. Maybe he's
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: teaching you patience, healing old wounds, correcting your attitude, or
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: preparing you for a greater responsibility. The process may not
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: always feel good, but growth often requires change. And remember,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: being God's masterpiece doesn't mean you're perfect. You may still
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: have flaws. You may still make mistakes, have areas that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: need improvement, but you are not a finished product. God
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is still working on you. So don't make the mistake.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of rejecting the process. Don't confuse a difficult season with
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a wasted life and don't allow your imperfections to make
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you forget your purpose. The master knows what he's doing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: He can use the lessons you've learned, the challenges you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: survived and the wisdom you gain to help shape the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: person he's calling you to become. Come on, Jesus. You're
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: not a mistake that God's trying to fix. You're his
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: creation being shaped for his purpose. So give yourself grace.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Stay teachable. Keep trusting the hands that are shaping you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You may be still under construction, but you already have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: value in the eyes of your creator. Father, thank you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you for creating us with purpose and calling us
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: your masterpieces. Oh, help us to stop comparing ourselves to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: others and recognize the work that you're doing in our lives.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Give us patience with our process, humility to receive correction,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and faith to trust you through every season of growth.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Heal what needs healing. God, strengthen what needs strengthening and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: develop the gifts that you've placed on the inside of us,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: even when we can't see the finished picture. Oh, God,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: help us to... Trust the hands of the master in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your word for today. Take it,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: apply it to your everyday life, and you continue to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning praise party.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey.
