“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ
Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10)
The Bible does not say you are God’s appliance; it says you are His masterpiece. Appliances get mass-produced. Masterpieces get hand-crafted. God did not make you exactly like anyone
else. Therefore His plan for shaping you
will not look like His plan for shaping anyone else. If you try to follow a generic plan for
spiritual growth, it will only frustrate you.
Paul said, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (2
Corinthians 3:17)
– John Ortberg in “The Me
I Want To Be”
