You are God's own masterpiece........


You are God's own masterpiece…………

 

There lived a man in a tiny apartment who died in extreme poverty. At some point in his life, he had even been homeless, living on the streets. This man never had any successes to speak of, nor any noted victories. He lived and died as just another face in the crowd. After the funeral, some family members went to his little run-down apartment to clear out his belongings. They found a painting hanging on the wall, so they decided to sell it at a garage sale. The woman who bought the picture took it to a local art gallery for an appraisal and was shocked to discover that the painting was extremely valuable. The piece of art that hung for so many years in a little run-down apartment had been painted by a famous artist who lived in the early 1800s. The woman decided to auction off that painting and ended up selling it for several million dollars! Just think of how that poor man's life might have changed if he had known the value of what he possessed. He was a multimillionaire and didn't even know it! So many people today are living with priceless treasure inside, and they don't even know it. You are God's own masterpiece, created by the famous artist of all. That means you are not ordinary or average. When God created you, He went to great lengths to make you exactly the way he wanted you. You're not meant to be like everyone else; God designed you the way you are for a purpose. Everything about you is unique and everything about you matters. When you understand your value-not only who you are, but to whom you belong. Realize today that because you are extremely valuable. When you respect yourself you are honoring God. Remember, you are chosen and hand-picked by God.
