For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:13-14
Most often we take one look at ourselves in the mirror and list all our negative qualities. That nose that seems too big for your face, your small eyes, your freckles, your body shape. It's easy to just look at all the 'bad' aspects and downgrade yourself. It may not just be your physical qualities but your abilities as well, or lack of.
But today's verse tells us that we have been crafted and created according to God's specifications. Everything within and without has been placed in you by God, the Creator of the Universe. He spent time knitting you together whilst you were being formed in your mother's womb. He placed so many special qualities and features in you that you may not even realise yet.
It can be tempting to compare yourself to others but God says that He has fearfully and wonderfully made you. You are special in His eyes and you have been created the way you are for a purpose. So delight in God's beautiful creation that is you and never forget that He has made you unique and special.
Stay blessed and stay a blessing.
