His Workmanship
By George Thurlow
©️September 4, 2024
Frustrated and dissatisfied
With a discontented view,
A negative self image
That has gone askew?
Don’t criticize God’s workmanship,
You are uniquely you:
Created for His purposes
From a divine depicted view.
You are a special Masterpiece
Fitted precisely for His plan:
A peculiar puzzle piece,
God’s own “poemia” man.
Fearfully and wonderfully,
By the Lord you were handmade:
To serve and glorify Him,
He is acquainted with all your ways.
In His book your days were written,
How marvelous is His works.
Now get in line, with His design
Your opposition shirk.
For you are God’s own poem
Through the Spirit envision your role.
There’s a niche for you in His Kingdom
With a purpose, gift and goal.
