For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life. — Ephesians 2:10

We are God's workmanship. Not our own. We're not self-made people. We're being built into a spiritual house, fitted together as a holy temple in the Lord. The same God who created the heavens is shaping us—cutting, fitting, polishing living stones. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that he prepared beforehand. He's the potter; we're the clay. Let him work.
