Day 5: Handcrafted by Heaven

Reading: Ephesians 2:10


You are not a mistake. You are not mass-produced. You are not forgotten on the assembly line of life.


Paul reminds us that we are God’s workmanship — in the Greek, poiēma — meaning a masterpiece, a carefully crafted creation. The same God who sculpted mountains, painted sunsets, and spoke galaxies into motion took time to design you.


Your personality, your passions, your gifts, and even your scars are brushstrokes in a larger work of art. God didn’t throw you together. He shaped you with purpose and precision.


And if the Artist values His creation, you can walk with confidence knowing you are not just made — you are masterfully made.


Reflection Question: What would change about how you see yourself if you truly believed you were handcrafted by God?


Prayer:

Father, thank You for shaping me with intention and care.

Remind me that I am Your workmanship — not defined by flaws, but by Your grace.

Help me walk in purpose and reflect the beauty of Your design.

Today, I choose to see myself the way You see me.


In Jesus’ name, Amen.
