Reflection on Wonderfully Made
As believers, it’s essential to internalize the truth of being fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
Of course, we are not the product of random chance or circumstance, but rather the intentional handiwork of our Creator. This realization should fill us with a profound sense of gratitude and purpose, knowing that we are loved and valued by God Himself.
What Ephesians 2:10 is so profound:
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
This verse emphasizes our identity as God’s handiwork, designed for a specific purpose and endowed with unique gifts and abilities.
To live out the truth of being fearfully and wonderfully made, we must embrace our identity in Christ and walk confidently in His purpose for our lives.
Instead of comparing ourselves to others or dwelling on perceived flaws, let us celebrate the beauty of God’s craftsmanship in each one of us.
Being wonderfully made also carries the weight of responsibility.
If we are fearfully and wonderfully crafted by God, then we should strive to live in a way that reflects that truth.
This means:
- Honoring God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20),
- Using our gifts to serve others (Galatians 5:13), and
- Reflecting God’s character in our actions (Ephesians 5:1-2).
Living a wonderfully made life doesn’t mean achieving perfection. It means acknowledging the incredible gift of life entrusted to us and using it to glorify God and bring good to the world.
Blessings..!
