God has woven a beautiful picture of you.

Have you ever felt as though your life is nothing special? Does it seem as though nothing you do is all that important? God sees it differently. Just as a skilled potter can take a formless lump of clay and turn it into a beautiful vase, so also God accomplishes extraordinary things in our world using ordinary people like us. This week we focus on how we have been chosen in Christ. Nothing about us made us good candidates for the great things God wants to accomplish in our world. And yet, in Christ, we have been washed clean of all imperfection. We have been given the Holy Spirit as a seal of his possession. By his grace alone we are the people through whom he carries out his plans and purposes.
