You are a piece of work!

Ever heard that in reference to you?  Normally this expression is used to describe someone as being high maintenance, or requiring a lot of effort and energy to be around.  If you really stop and think about it; You are a piece of work.  You are an "Opus Deo Dignam,"  That expression comes from Latin, and it means a work worthy of God.  You are a piece of work!

There's only one you.  Even if you have an identical twin sibling, no one else can be you, better than you.  God took time out of his hectic schedule to make sure that you had a designated time, space and place in his universe.  He also blesses us over and over again.  He calls us to build and edify his kingdom daily.  Even when we stumble along the way, or fall short, his grace is immediately in tow.  You are a piece of work!

With all your strengths, weakness, faults and shortcomings, you are a piece of work worthy of God.  There's no way around it.  You are a piece of work, that has been called and commissioned to work for the Kingdom.  There is only one you.  Be the best you that you can be.  The next time someone tells you that you are a piece of work, look them straight in the eye and tell them Thank you, God bless you, and so are you!  YOU are a piece of work!

Peace,
Karsten
