God’s Masterpiece

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman


Some Believers are in a battle their whole life with a sense of inferiority, which can be devastating and becomes a barrier to good relationships and also genuine contentment! 

As a believer there is a way out; these feelings of inferiority can be healed. We must get into the Word (verse of the day) which tells us we are GOD’S masterpiece, He is at work in us. Would He allow His masterpiece to end up inferior – of course not – His work in you is perfect! Stop looking at others thinking you don’t measure up to them because GOD has designed you as unique. GOD is fitting you for His purpose in your life like no one else’s.

{Ephesians 2:10…For we are GOD’S masterpiece. He has created us anew in MESSIAH YESHUA so we can do good things He planned for us long ago}…                                        

Our Creator knows the weakness of our human frame and He is always patient with us. When we fail (and we will), GOD just wants us to come to Him for forgiveness and then keep moving ahead. Remember we are a work in progress and in due time GOD will complete His masterpiece; “you!”

Wrong Desires

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

Believers can have wrong desires! In fact, if we work hard enough—pressing ahead of GOD’S timing, manipulating our circumstances, we may be able to make those wishes reality! But, anything gained apart from GOD’S will prove to be empty and disappointing!

There is nothing wrong with having desires, but we need them to match what GOD has planned for us! Desires we may have that are contrary to His purpose for our life can corrupt body, mind or spirit and can also cause us to fall into temptation (1 Tim. 6:9)!

Our desires should be backed up with two vital questions;
1) Does GOD want this for me?
2) Can I follow MESSIAH and this objective at the same time?

Psalm 145:18-19 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.

The Ruach HaKodesh was given to us by GOD for wisdom and discernment! Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to ensure you that your desire is within GOD’S will and plan for your life.
