“We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:10 NIV

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Most of us could come up with a long list! The fact is, Jesus alone holds the world record when it comes to perfection. In the words of Jennifer Dukes Lee: “Until you are convinced of God’s incredible love…you will continue looking for replacement love everywhere but in the heart of Christ. No matter where you live or work…the enemy prowls like a lion, stalking people on Wall Street, fashion runways, suburban cul-de-sacs, [and] Facebook walls…[We’re] in a showdown with Satan, who will use every opportunity…to whisper in our ears, ‘What are people thinking of you?’ [He] will tell you you’re too fat, too frumpy, too stupid, too poor. He will do whatever he can to set your affections on the things of this world, instead of on Christ. And he’ll wrap those accusations in glossy magazine covers if he has to.” Don’t buy into his lies. Jesus said, “There is not an iota of truth in him…he is the father of liars” (John 8:44 TLB). One Christian author summarized it like this: “Discontentment is one of the big giants we must conquer if we ever hope to enjoy life…We may not have all we would like to have, but we certainly have more than some people. No matter how you think you look, there is somebody who would love to look like you. No matter how old you are, there is someone who would love to be as young as you…Love yourself and love your life; it is the only one you have!” The truth is that you’re the only you God made…after that, He broke the mould!
