God's Masterpiece

Lately I've been a slave to my TV set.

I hate that I'm writing this here, but I feel as though it needs to be said, and heard, in order to change my priorities.

This past week in sunday school we were talking about transformations in people.

About how people can change from being a heroin addict, to a sober follower of Christ.

Or someone who curses like a sailor can clean up his act and speak positively to others.

Or someone who spends all their time in front of the TV, can turn the TV off, and give God the time He deserves.

I've been struggling lately, not just with watching TV, but filling up all my time with everything but God.

I make up excuses not to pray at night. I'm tired, I just need to sleep. 

I start eating my meals without thanking God that I have meals to eat.

I start my day off with the TV on instead of with my bible open.

This has to stop.

I've become so independent in my own life, when I need to be dependent on God in every aspect of my life.

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10

I'm God's masterpiece?

He's working so hard on making me perfectly beautiful in his eyes?

Why am I not taking the time to do these good things he planned for me?

Why am I not taking time to listen to God, and figure out what these good things are?

I'm sure theres some of you out there who feel the same as I do, stuck in a rut, thinking you can do life alone.

But God is creating you into a masterpiece.

Listen to Him.

Figure out what He has planned for you.

Lets let God transform us into the beautiful masterpeice that we are.
