as my original masterpiece -

carefully, delicately, by my hand, slowly and lovingly.

Like a dedicated art restorer, I am obsessed with unveiling my masterpiece in you.

I am revealing the real you.

I am unveiling the glory(which is my own) that is manifest in you as my image-bearer.

Look at yourself in the mirror, read the labels and

pray, asking God to take away the false sources of identity you see.

Read the cards with God’s attributes that we found in the Bible. Then meditate, asking

God to make one stand out.

Read a few versions of the

Psalm 139 verses and reflect on the

truth that God calls you His work of art.

“I, as your Father, rejoice over you. Even as you sleep and all of your “doing” ceases, I sing over you in trust and love and acceptance.

I take great joy and pride in who I created when I knit you together in your mother’s womb.

You are my beloved son, you are chosen and you are adopted, you are anointed for service. 

I desire to pour my love all over you...

Won’t you accept it?”
