You are not your own,” 1Co 6:19 ESV Yes, you are not your own. You have been bought at a very high price. The very blood of God Himself. You belong to Him. All of you belong to Him. That includes your body. H

As a born again, Spirit filled, child of God - you are His masterpiece. Long before you were even born, in fact, before the world was created, God chose you. He had a special job planned for you then, and has now re-created you with that special job in mind.
