The Lord is continuing to speak about our identities in Christ. I recently had a vision of a little girl with a giant hand behind her. As I've continued to focus during Bible study on our identies; I've sensed His love, gentleness, protection and kindness so strongly. As I created this painting with Him, the scripture verses He was highlighting was Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:14 and Ephesians 2:10.

Scripture says, "So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it."" (Genesis 1:27, NIV)

It says in Genesis 2:7, "Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person." God, The Creator of all things clearly created us for love and relationship with him and pursues us with passion, beautiful and so amazing.

"I will praise you for, I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well." (Psalm139:14, NKJV)

He created you, me and every person on the face of the earth and knows each one of us intimately. Nothing in our lives is hidden from Him. We are created with great care and our lives have great meaning and purpose. The moment we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior and surrendered our will to Him, we were adopted into His family and became His children.

For we are God's masterpieces. 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).

The little girl in this painting represents not only God's miraculous creation of mankind, but also His children, those who've confessed Jesus Christ, his Son as their Lord and Savior and surrendered to Him fully. He loves each one of us and knows exactly where we're at in our lives, how many mistakes we've made, how we feel about ourselves on any given day. He knows every hurt, trauma and disappointment and wants to heal and restore...that's his nature. He remembers his thoughts and his heart for each of us at the exact moment he created us...that's how personal he is, that's true love. None of us are "an accident", we truly are fearfully and wonderfully madw and every promise in the Bible is ours by faith, just believe him, the truth of his word. You are his MASTERPIECE, this is your identity and there's so much more!

Love & Blessings in Christ,
