This ship is interesting. It not only reflects who we are, but also what we do. We are workmanship, and we produce workmanship.
To be precise, we are God’s workmanship, created to do good works, according to Ephesians 2:10.
God’s creation of us was with foresight and knowledge. His process wasn’t random or unplanned, but precise and with purpose. Each of us is wonderfully made, and every nuance that makes us unique is part of His design.
Because we’re made in God’s image and like Him, we possess an innate desire to create, produce, and do good. And God is all for us! He fitted us for the work He had in mind for us.
When we cook that meal, wire that building, crochet that afghan, build that skyscraper, sing that song, write those words, cultivate that yard, tend to that need, we are reflecting Him.
As we sail through life as God’s workmanship, we can have confidence in the person we were created to be, fully equipped to do what He has planned for us. We are not random cells that came together, but designed with meaningful purpose and the privilege to leave God’s creative mark through the good works we were created for.

H, Barbara. Was actually thinking about this very idea in the past week. So interesting that your words confirmed the Holy Spirit’s thoughts.
I thought of being in my mother’s womb, and my birth. Even before that he had plans for the work he wanted me to do all through my life. Would I have chosen these plans if I had a choice? Most likely not. I would have stayed home, away from people, thinking I like what I’m doing and whom I’m with. Boy did He change that; He wanted to do a work in me. So thankful He did that work. “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
Thank you for writing your heart. 💗Faith

I love your reflections, Faith! Would we have chosen the work He planned for us? If left to my own choices, I’m certain I would have walked less satisfying (safer) paths.
