“For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)
Do you know what I love about God?
Well, okay, there’s a lot I love about God. But one thing in particular that I appreciate about Him, is that He is detail-oriented.
Give a holler if you’re a detail-oriented woman like myself!
If so, you probably already know that we detail-oriented women have been given a bad wrap over the years. Sometimes referred to us as control freaks. Maybe a little high maintenance. Some might even say we are lacking in the “spontaneous” department.
These notions used to upset me, until I came to the realization that we are made in the very image of God. And guess what? God is detail-oriented!
So much so, in fact, that when He created you – formed and fashioned you – intricately designed you – He intentionally wove the very ingredients into the fibers of your being, that would make you uniquely YOU.
And do you know what that tells me? That tells me that there are no mistakes.
God does not make mistakes.
No one is here by accident.
Not one of us is an “oops.”
You and I were not a surprise to God.
Isn’t that a comforting thought?
Over the years, I have given birth to ten children. And out of those ten, only four of those precious babies were “planned” by their father and I. We often tell our kids that although they were certainly a surprise to us, they were NOT a surprise to God.
Scripture tells us:
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart and appointed you..” (Jeremiah 1:5)
I don’t know about you, but this excites me, because in essence, what this verse tells us is that you and I are not an afterthought. Indeed, we are a forethought! Fully known in the mind of God before we even took our first breath. Set apart for good works which God has prepared for us beforehand.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psalm 139:13)
Whenever I read the above scripture verse, I like to imagine God seated in a rocking chair, knitting. And as He does, He very intentionally picks out just the right yarn, in just the right colors, with just the right textures, to create a beautiful masterpiece, that is US.
Every detail was hand-picked by a loving God, who has formed us from the inside out, and has given us the exact gifts, talents, and strengths, to perfectly match our unique purpose, in order to equip us to fulfill our individual calling.
You and I were created ON purpose, FOR purpose.
This truth ought to give us cause to celebrate. However, experience has taught me, that often in the lives of believers, one of two things frequently happens:
- We are grossly unaware of the gifts God has given us.
- Or.. we are aware of our gifts, but we simply despise them.
Either way, we run the risk of being ineffective in accomplishing the good works God has prepared for us to do in this lifetime.
Over the next few weeks, I plan to spend some time unpacking the topic of who we are, and why we were created. My hope is that by the end of this short series, we will have a firm grasp on our identity in Christ, and our God-given purpose.
I hope you’ll join me! But for now, let’s pray..
Prayer for Today:
Father, thank you for Your Word. We truly are a masterpiece, designed for good works which you have equipped us to fulfill. In the coming weeks, as you reveal more of yourself to us, through Your holy Word, may we come to know and understand WHO we are, and WHY we are, for Your name’s sake.
Amen.
Michele Morin says
Thank you for this reassuring post, Rachel. I spend way too much time second guessing God’s design of this particular creation, knowing all along (at least in my head) that he makes no mistakes and has thought everything through from beginning to end.

This is the second post I’ve read today that emphasized Ephesians 2:10. God must really want me to get this truth today! I love the truth that we were created on purpose for purpose.
Joy says
Hi Rachel! At last, an explanation for my yearning for details. Thank you for framing it in God’s grace with the encouraging reminder that we are His workmanship!
Lauren Sparks says
On purpose for a purpose. Love this. laurensparks.net

Love this post! My husband and I tell my daughter the same thing. Although she was a surprise to us, she was not a surprise to God. He put her here for a purpose. His purpose. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes. On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr. So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life.

GREAT LOVE SPELL CASTER DR PETER THAT HELP ME SAVE MY RELATIONSHIP. TEXT OR ADD HIM UP DIRECTLY ON WHATSAPP +1 (646) 494-4360
My name is Carly Arden. I want to give thanks to DR PETER for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather than to get in contact with DR PETER .He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. DR PETER makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for real and for good. He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very well in our love life. contact details below. WhatsApp on +1 (646) 494-4360

My husband was flirting with another woman. Until he vanished, I was desperate to get him back, I wasted so much time and money trying to get my Husband back, I tried almost all possibilities to have him back and nothing worked. I became lonely. To make it short, I found a spell caster, Dr. Dr Patrick. I saw the good testimonies about his wonderful work and after reading the Testimonials, I decided I had to try and give it one last try and After the spells, a miracle happened, my husband came home. It was awesome, anyone who needs help, should email drpatrickspellcaster@gmail.com him WhatsApp/Call him on (+1 662 493 2087)..

I love my wife so much and i could not accept the fact that i am loosing her, so i went into research to get some tips on how i could get my wife back and i saw a comment on one of the forum, a lady testifying how she was able to get her ex back by reaching out to Dr Kala and i also contact Dr Kala on email and explain my problem to him and he helped me to get my wife back within 2days and my wife stopped the divorce and return back to me, promising me that she will never leave me again and also beg for me to forgive her which i did and right now i am enjoying my marriage and all thanks to Dr Kala the great spell caster who is capable of bringing back ex lover and put an end to your divorce, marriage and relationship problems.
