“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14 NIV)

God made you wonderfully!

So many people have negative self-identity issues. Maybe they grew up with criticism from their family. Or maybe they compared themselves to the models used in advertising and did not compare favorably. So many young people are unhappy with themselves, so they have expressed their unhappiness in many different, sometimes dangerous ways, resulting in eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Some even go so far as to reject the gender they were born with and go to great lengths to identify with the opposite sex, as unisex, or as none at all. All this confusion is because they don’t understand how special they are, just as God created them.

You are born a winner!

On the day you were conceived over a million of your “brothers and sisters” raced to reach your mother’s egg. And you got there first! You won! That’s right, you were truly the winner that day! And you are still a winner today! (Psalm 139:15 NKJV) 

God skillfully made you in secret

“My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.” (Psalm 139:16 NKJV)

Therefore

“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.” (Psalms 139:17-18 NKJV)
