Do you sometimes feel like you are on the outside looking in? Do you ever wonder why you are here? Do you ever wonder… who are you?
‘For we are God’s masterpiece…’ Ephesians 2:10
Did you know that? Did you KNOW that? Deep down inside? Despite the things you tell yourself, regardless of what others say.
Who are YOU?
YOU are a masterpiece. You ARE a masterpiece. You are a MASTERPIECE! Let’s take it even further. You are GOD’s Masterpiece.
THE Master of all masters, the Masterpiece of all Masterpieces SAYS YOU ARE HIS Masterpiece!
Just pause…
Take that in…
Breathe…
Are you thinking that this is wrong? After all, we don’t know each other. I don’t know you and I know nothing about you.
Well, you are correct. I don’t know you.
But Yahweh DOES.
Who are YOU?
HE says YOU ARE HIS MASTERPIECE.
Are you calling YAHWEH a liar? Allow your sprit and soul to open and listen closely to his words…
‘Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. ‘ Ephesians 1:4-5
Perhaps you don’t believe in Yahweh? Or perhaps you believe in Him, but you don’t believe this applies to YOU. If you are reading this, YOU are HIS masterpiece. HE selected YOU before time began and chose you to be His Masterpiece. Then He created you and counted you as HIS child.
‘… This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. ‘ Ephesians 1:5
Truthfully, it is not about YOU. Its about HIM. It was HIS choice, for HIS pleasure. You did nothing to earn it – He did it out of HIS love for YOU. However, did you really read that verse? Do you hear Yahweh’s soft voice in the back of your mind, speaking directly to YOU? Hear His Whisper…
‘Even before I made the world, I loved you and chose you in Christ to be holy and without fault in My eyes. I decided in advance to adopt YOU into MY own family by bringing you to Me through Jesus Christ. This is what I wanted to do, and it gave Me great pleasure. ‘ Ephesians 1:4-5 [bold and bold pronouns YW]
All the voices in your mind telling you that this does not apply to YOU because YOU are not good enough, faithful enough, smart enough, holy enough or “whatever” enough are telling you LIES.
Our God, Yahweh, says differently. Who ARE you? Listen…
God loved you and chose you in Christ to be holy and without fault in HIS eyes. Ephesians 1:4
These words are not based on YOU or anything you have done or not done. This was God’s decision and His alone. He CHOSE YOU, and HE chose YOU regardless of YOUR deeds. Yahweh sees YOU as HOLY and WITHOUT FAULT. He does not see the same you that you see; or the you that others see. He sees you as HIS masterpiece.
Remember the beginning of Yahweh’s s Whisper?
‘For we are God’s masterpiece…’ Ephesians 2:10
Why would Yahweh do this? Why would He choose you?
‘God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece… ‘ Ephesians 2:8-10
You did not accidentally slip past undetected into God’s family.
‘[God] made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. [God] saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in [His] book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. ‘ Psalms 139:13,15-16
What do you plan to do with the knowledge that YOU ARE Yahweh’s masterpiece? Will you ignore it or embrace it? His love and mercy are the greatest gift. Acceptance of those gifts are a choice.
Who are you?
On our darkest days, when we feel lonely, unloved, unworthy, inadequate – remember whose child you are and Straighten Your Crown.

Our prayer for you…
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the one reading this Whisper. I think you for their heart and their soul that is reaching out to you. If this is the first step, they may not yet accept that THEY are Your masterpiece. They may only see themselves through the eyes of shame, hurt, and pain. Confirm for them who they are. Show them in the days to come how precious they are to You. Block the lies that would tell them differently. If they have forgotten You and who they are in You, remind them of Your love and grace. Confirm for them that they are still Your masterpiece. A Jewel among jewels. Thank you for your everlasting love and grace. In the name of Jesus Christ.
