Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
April 13, 2008
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14
If there ever was a verse to memorize, this one would be it. This verse has meant more to me than any other scripture simply because it says what I (and every other girl) usually needs to hear the most….that we are perfect in every way in God’s eyes. If you read the verse again, it says that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Now I know that the “fearfully” part may throw some of you off, as it did for me the first time I read it. However, it simply means that we are made with great respect, love and (this is the best one..) adoration from God. That’s right, God ADORES you!! He looks down on you every single second of every day and He thinks…”She is my perfect daughter, I love her more than she could ever imagine.” Now, I know that there are days when you feel like you just don’t measure up…you’re not pretty enough, thin enough, athletic enough, smart enough, popular enough, etc and I know the world likes to tell you how you should be, act, look, dress, talk, think…but in those moments of doubt…I want you all to remember this verse, I want you to remember and BELIEVE with all your heart that our Heavenly Father made you the way you are for a very specific reason, to Him, you are WONDERFUL, you are His joy, you make Him smile.
So today, as we go about our day, whether we are at school, home, sports games, the mall, wherever it is…think about this….no matter what anyone else says about you or even what you may think about yourself…your Creator, your Father in Heaven thinks you are perfect, that you are wonderfully made.
