Morning by Morning, May 13 - “Sculpted from Nothing into Something”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my life -- past, present, and future -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
“Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of My Father in Heaven” (Matthew 18:10).
Yesterday, my wife Rocio and I were so honored to join our dear friends John and Cathy Bennett to dedicate the most beautiful and profoundly moving sculpture of an angel overseeing the markers in the children’s portion of the cemetery in Fredericksburg, Texas. John is a master sculptor and the Holy Spirit gave him the vision and inspiration for this breathtaking sculpture in a vision of the night.
In the French language, she was named Ange des Enfants and dedicated, “In the Memory of These and the Sixty Three Million Others. Infants and Unborn, A Loss to Our World -- They Will Be Missed.” The plaque says, “There are not alone and never forgotten.”
We entrust these children into Your embrace, Father. And we pray for those who grieve their loss, including those who bore them in their wombs, many not fully understanding the depth and eternal dimensions of their choice. There’s healing, forgiveness, and peace for all who turn to You in humility and faith in Your mercy and love (1 John 1:9). “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.’ The Lord is good to those who wait for Him to the soul who seeks Him” (Lamentations 3:22-25).
Your Spirit still speaks through the heart of every child who ever was, forever sealed in the words of the Word of God:
“Oh yes, You shaped me first inside, then out;
You formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank You, High God--You’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration--what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
You know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something”
(Psalm 139:13-16 The Message).
In Your mercy and love, we’re all “sculpted from nothing into something.” And when we entrust our lives into the eternal care of Your mercy and love through our Lord and Savior, “We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT).
There’s no sin You won’t forgive. There’s no wound You won’t heal. There’s no life You’ll not love and cherish even though You know every one of us and everything about us “inside and out.” And You’re still at work on Your masterpiece -- carefully, lovingly sculpting us every one “from nothing into something.” You’re the One who’s “breathtaking” in Your unbounding mercy and love. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

My Friend, may you know in your heart you are God's masterpiece, sculpted by His hands with His heart from nothing into something in your mother's womb, free to be all He created you to be, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
