Do you believe that you are a masterpiece? Or do you feel like a failure; a mistake?
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time feeling like I was a mistake. God had made a mistake in creating me.
My mom had gotten pregnant with me. My dad did not want to marry her. He did not want me. He tried to talk her into an abortion, but she refused. After they were married, he got mad at her and threw her down. He was trying to cause a miscarriage. I just knew, in my little girl mind, that I was a mistake.
Then, one day, much further down the road, it just hit me. I survived all of that. God has a purpose for my life. Even though my earthly father did not want me, my heavenly one did. He does not make mistakes.
Ephesians 2:10 NLT
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.

Dear Father,
