“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.” Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

I don’t have the picture of the caterpillar that became this butterfly but can tell you it was ugly and looked like a cartoon character. What I will tell you is that in a world that often makes us feel small and ugly, God sees his masterpiece that he created before time existed.

You are beautiful to the Creator of beauty. You matter to the One who invented matter. You have purpose to the Father who sacrificed his Son so your purpose can be fulfilled. You are loved by the God of Agape love…too deep, wide and lasting to understand.

You are beautiful and your beauty shines to those around you. Walk boldly my sister or brother in Christ in the knowledge that you are the daughter or son of the King of all Kings.

You matter.
