Made, Not Manufactured

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

The Greek word Paul uses for "workmanship" is poiema. It's where we get the word poem. You are not an accident God decided to tolerate. You are something He wrote.

That's where our name comes from. Sculpted By God isn't a slogan about having a perfect body or an easy life. Some of the people we love most are scarred, tired and still fighting. The point is that the hands that shaped you didn't slip. Every curve and every crack is accounted for.

Manufactured things come off a line by the thousands, each one the same as the last. Made things carry the marks of whoever made them. Look closely and you'll find fingerprints.

We were created "unto good works, which God hath before ordained." The work was waiting before you ever showed up. You don't have to invent a purpose. You get to walk into one.

So wear it like you believe it. Walk into the room like someone who was made on purpose. You were.
