There is only one person just like you in the entire universe, and you are precious to Me! You are My handiwork—My masterpiece—created to do the good works that I prepared in advance for you to do (Ephesians 2:10 NIV). While this requires commitment and determination on your part, always remember that it is the power of My Spirit at work within you that will empower you to become and do all that I have planned for you.
I have designed you to be like a lamp filled with the oil of My Spirit that radiates My light to the world around you. It is important that you tend well to your lamp and allow Me to replenish you, so that your light will shine so brightly that people will see your good works and be drawn to Me (Matthew 5:14–16).
Take time to come to Me in prayer and to study My Word, which will give you the strength to persevere and to keep your eyes on the things that truly matter. Take a moment to praise and worship Me, and let your heart overflow with My joy. As you enter into My presence with thanksgiving, I will fill you with all joy and peace so that you may overflow with hope by the power of My Spirit (Romans 15:13 NIV).
