Walking Worthy!

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


Father,


I am your workmanship...ME!  I love meditating on that!  I am precious to You, my God...chosen, set apart and loved BEFORE the foundation of the world.  I am Yours...You have formed me for Yourself that I might show forth Your praise.   Lord, You have made me, bought me and established me.  You will make perfect all that concerns me.  I will not be forgotten of You nor will You forsake the work of Your hands.   I am confident that You who began a good work in me will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ...for it is You who works in me both to will and to do for Your good pleasure.



Before I can do anything good, Father, You must do Your good work of salvation in me.  Without You, I can do nothing.  You have created in me a clean heart and renewed a right spirit within me.  I have been renewed in Your knowledge.   I am in your Son!  I am a new creature; old things have passed away...You, Father, make all things new! Fill me with your forgiveness and tender mercies toward others.   Let them emanate from my innermost being and may my outward demeanor reflect my inward heart that is set on You.  I want your fruits evident in my life.  


I have been created in Your image...in Your likeness for good works which You prepared beforehand for ME!  I beseech You, help me to walk worthy of the calling with which I have been called!  I want to be holy and blameless before You in love!  Let me walk with all lowliness, meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with others in love.   Your love...is the bond of perfection..pour it out in my heart! As much as depends on me Father, let me live peaceably with all men.  Help me to hearken unto You and walk in Your ways.   Let my light so shine that others will see my good works and glorify You, my Father in heaven.  Make me perfect in every good work...Work in me what is well pleasing in Your sight.
