Thoughts for Today

God's masterpiece. Did you know you are God's masterpiece? If you have received Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, God has created you anew!

God loves you, his masterpiece, unconditionally. And he has a good plan for your life. Today's scriptures talks about "the good things he planned for us long ago." God's agenda. A perfect plan. His plan does not include things we do to please others or to earn God's approval. His plan is so much better.

God gives us a choice. Will we insist on following our own agenda--or will we follow his?

Consider this ...

If we choose God's plan, we will produce much fruit--not because of our own cleverness or ability but because we have faith in our connection to God through Jesus Christ.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
John 15:5 NIV

We might work hard to succeed in a relationship, a career, even a ministry. And maybe we see some results. But often that hard work produces frustration, stress, exhaustion. Maybe that's because we are striving in our own strength and with our own agenda, leaving Jesus out of the equation. What does Jesus say we can do apart from him? Nothing!

God has a good plan for your life. He wants to help you follow that plan. But first you must choose to follow his agenda, not your own. You must choose to trust in his strength, not your own ability. Only then will you produce fruit that is meaningful and makes an eternal difference.
