Ephesians 2:10 (ESV) — 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
NOTE: The Greek word
for workmanship is poiema, which is where we get our word poem. The word is
translated work of art, handiwork, masterpiece, etc. God has begun a poem in
each of our lives. It is beautiful. It is a life saved by grace and transformed
by love. We get to write in the poem as well by our good works and our walk of
faith. This reminds me of another poem: "You are writing a gospel each
day, by the things that you do, and the words that you say. Men read what you write, distorted or
true. What is the gospel according to
you? (Author unknown)" What am I doing with the poem that God has started
with my life? Will it make a difference in the people around me? Or will I be
like the man who took his talent and hid it in the ground? We are here to make
a difference, otherwise we don't need to be here.
