'''1. You are a work of art—a work in progress.''' God is the potter and we are the clay ([[Jeremiah 18:1]],[[Jeremiah 18:2|2]],[[Jeremiah 18:3|3]],[[Jeremiah 18:4|4]],[[Jeremiah 18:5|5]] and [[Jeremiah 18:6|6]]). God is working on you to make you what He wants you to be. Trust the Artist to make a masterpiece. Be flexible and adaptable. See yourself as a GOOD work in progress. | |||
'''2. Withhold judgment of yourself (or others).''' [[Philippians 1:6]] says, “He who began a GOOD work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Don’t prejudge what your capacity is or what your potential is. He’s only just begun! | |||
'''3. God doesn’t throw you out.''' HE NEVER GIVES UP ON YOU. [[Jeremiah 18:4]] says, “The clay was marred, so He made it again.” He didn’t discard it. He made it again. Thank God! He’s re-making you! | |||
'''4. You are changing as you are reading this!''' Whatever flaws you have, they are not the final sentence. You are NOW being transformed to the very image of Jesus! | |||
'''5. EMBRACE the GRACE!''' Paul said in [[1 Corinthians 15:10]], “I AM what I AM by the grace of God.” It’s God’s grace IN YOU that is making you what you are. You are not a composite of your parents’ mistakes, your mistakes, or others’ opinions of you. You’re awesome! You are a work of God’s grace. | |||
'''6. Take another look!''' The Bible is a mirror that reflects what God and you really look like! We are everything God says we are. As Jesus is, so are we in this world!–[[1 John 4:17]]. THAT’S the way you are! | |||
