Where something is made matters to us. Look at the tag on most any product and you’ll likely see a line like these imprinted on it:
Made in China
Made in Mexico
Made in America
And if you could see the line imprinted on your heart, it would read, Made in heaven.
The word made usually conjures up visions of factories and impersonal production lines, but the way heaven creates is entirely different. Every part of you was carefully and intricately crafted by God. Of course, that creation was carried out physically in your mother’s womb, but the idea of you started in the heart of heaven itself….
Max Lucado says in Cure for the Common Life…
“Da Vinci painted one Mona Lisa. Beethoven composed one Fifth Symphony. And God made one version of you… We exist to exhibit God, to display His glory. We serve as canvases for His brushstroke, papers for His pen, soil for His seeds, glimpses of His image.”
God longs for His children to embrace the worth and value He’s given them and then use it to bless others. When we know who we are and whose we are, we’re free to love, live with joy, and make a difference in the world.
You are wonderfully made.
You’re formed by God’s hands,
dreamed up in His heart,
and placed in this world for a purpose.
There’s no one else like you…
You’re one of a kind, irreplaceable.
God has given you everything you need
and created you just as you need to be
to make a difference
in your own wonderful way.
So go for it, friend.
The world is waiting
and heaven is cheering you on.
