What this Verse Means to Me

In Chapter 9 in Limitless Life, Derwin Gray points out that we we made to worship by God's design, in other words "everything we do and say is the product of worship."  As I mentioned above, this verse has been a favorite of mine for quite a while and I have tried to live my life to honor God. Not always successfully, but I am a work in process. :) When I am successful in living my life this way, I am always blessed and I can be a blessing to others.

As a part of the study this week we were challenged to write a vision statement for our life. The following is what I came up with:

To be a loving, caring servant of God, allowing God's light to shine through me while utilizing my gifts and talents to serve God and others.

Lift My Life Up by Unspoken has become one of my favorite songs.

Taking a deeper look at John 1:12 along with studying Chapters 5 and 6 of Limitless Life reinforces my understanding of God's love for us.  In Chapter 5, Derwin Gray uses the story of the woman at the well, found in John Chapter 4, to show how God can transform us by removing the label "Damaged Goods" and turning us into a "Trophy of Grace" when we drink the living water that Jesus has to offer.  What an awesome gift and privilege we are given!  As a child of God we are given an inheritance - eternal life. We just need to believe and accept it.

Looking in depth at this verse and studying Chapter 3 of Limitless Life has helped me to understand God created me and through faith in Jesus He renews me as I go through the trials of life and helps me to become His masterpiece. Through Him, my life can be transformed from a Mess to a Masterpiece! God had a plan for me before He created the universe. This means I have a purpose.
