                  You Are My Masterpiece

Child, when you feel empty inside, look to Me to fill you. Know that
I am ever with you and I will never abandon you--no matter what it
seems like to you. My Holy Spirit resides within you and He is ever
with you, no matter how unspiritual you may feel at the moment. Do
not allow your feelings to define your spiritual reality, for they 
lie to you. Do not allow discouragement to take root within you, and 
do not give up on yourself, for I have not given up upon you. Know 
that I am at work in your life, changing you to be more and more like 
Myself.

You are not the same as you were before. You have been transformed by 
My indwelling presence and I have placed My signature on you. I am 
molding you into My image, and I am causing My heart and nature to be
ingrained in your innermost being. It is true that you are still a work 
in process; but be patient and do not fret--for you are My work, and I 
only create masterpieces. I am at work in your life to transform you 
into My very image. Trust that I am able to work My glory--both in your 
own character and in every one of your situations. 

Know that I see you in all times at once. Yes, I see the weaknesses and 
failures that sometimes beset you. But I can also see back into your 
past, to before you knew Me, and I delight in the growth and maturity 
that has already come forth in your life. Likewise, I can also see how 
you will finish the race, even though you have not yet run it to its 
completion. I see the maturity and the goodness and the beauty that will 
come forth out of your life as though it has already occurred. You cannot 
see it yet, for you are trapped in the flow of time. But I am infinite 
and I inhabit all times and once, and I see your beginning and your end 
with the same clarity that I see you at this moment in time. 

Yes, dear one, I know you completely and totally. I know all that you 
have ever done and all you will ever do. I know every thought you will 
think and every word you will say. And knowing all of this, I love you. 
Nothing can ever change that. Nothing can disqualify you or separate you 
from My great love for you. And nothing can keep Me from working My 
beauty and My glory in your life.

You may not be able to see it dear one, but I see how My character is 
already being worked within you, and it pleases Me. You see yourself at 
this point in the process, and you may not like what you see. But 
remember, My ways are not your ways, and I do not think like you think. 
I look at you now, but I can already see how you will turn out--and I 
like the results.

My Holy Spirit lives inside of you and He is transforming you; He is 
making you more like Me. He is doing a very good work in you, and He is 
very capable of successfully completing it. Yes, Dear one, it is true 
that right now you are a work in process, but you will one day be a 
masterpiece. And that is how I see you now.
