What comes to mind when you hear the word masterpiece? For many, it may be a beautiful piece of art you once saw in a museum, or it may be a breathtaking view you once saw on top of a mountain after a long hike. It might be watching an impossible trick shot be landed successfully, or a perfectly choreographed dance. I bet most of us can think of at least one thing when we hear the word masterpiece. But is that one thing you? This verse serves as a big reminder that even when we view ourselves as broken and damaged, the Creator of the universe who has created everything says, “You’re a masterpiece.” The One who created the beautiful view or created the artist that made the piece of art you love looked at you—at your best and at your worst—and said, “You’re a masterpiece!” God invites us into the purpose and plan that He has for each and every single one of us, and his plan is good. You are enough and God has a unique role for you in His plan to make the world better. It’s that God loves you more than you can even comprehend. So don’t forget that. You are enough. You are loved, and you are God’s masterpiece.

So don’t forget that. You are enough. You are loved, and you are His masterpiece.
