Each of us is an original work, made personally by God. There are no ‘self-made’ people. Nobody ever became smart or sporty on their own. God made us all by Himself. He thought of us and designed us out of His incredible love.

God made your body, mind and soul. And He isn’t done with you; He is still making you. His single-minded plan is that we get to know Him better and live out Jesus’ love more and more. “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (PHIL. 1:6).

God is making you braver, stronger, purer, more peaceful, more loving, less selfish—the kind of person you’ve perhaps always wanted to be. “[God’s] unfailing love continues forever and his faithfulness continues to each generation” (PS. 100:5, NLT), and He will stick with you to the end. That’s a good reason to have joy and to “come before him with joyful songs” (V.2)!
